Foundation of TUDOR's Legacy

Born from a vision to craft watches that combine advanced watchmaking with everyday reliability, TUDOR has carved out their own distinctive path in the world of horology. The brand was established in 1926 with a mission to offer timepieces that deliver outstanding performance and style, all while remaining accessible to a wider audience. From the very beginning, TUDOR was positioned as a watchmaker with a spirit of exploration and resilience qualities that continue to define their collections to this day.

Throughout their storied history, TUDOR has been recognized for producing watches that are both functional and stylish, each collection meticulously designed to meet the demands of professionals in the field— divers, military personnel, and adventurers alike. Their reputation was solidified in the mid-20th century when the brand began supplying watches to naval forces around the world. These impressive timepieces were celebrated not only for their rugged construction, but also for their distinctive aesthetics and forward-thinking engineering.

Over the decades, TUDOR has stayed true to their roots while pushing boundaries in both design and performance. The reintroduction of classic models with modern updates— such as the Black Bay and Pelagos lines— speaks to the brand’s ability to evolve while honoring their heritage. Every watch tells a story shaped by decades of innovation, risk-taking, and a deep respect for tradition.

At BENARI JEWELERS, this rich history resonates deeply with us. The designer’s journey mirrors values that are central to our own philosophy—integrity, quality, and a dedication to craftsmanship. By showcasing TUDOR timepieces within our showrooms, BENARI JEWELERS invites our clients to become part of a legacy built on substance and style, where every detail has meaning and every design has purpose.

Incredible Luxury Watches for Professionals

With a reputation for crafting timepieces that effortlessly balance rugged functionality with refined aesthetics, TUDOR has become a favorite among those who appreciate both form and function. Known for their dive watches, tool watches, and pieces featuring practical complications, TUDOR designs watches with a purpose—each built to endure, inspire, and impress.

One of their most beloved lines is the Black Bay collection, a modern tribute to the brand’s historic dive watches. These models fuse vintage appeal with cutting-edge features, offering impressive water resistance, high-contrast dials, and the iconic “snowflake” hands that have become synonymous with the brand. Designed for real-world use, these watches are equally at home in extreme environments as they are in daily life.

TUDOR’s tool watches are created with specific functions in mind. From the Pelagos collection—a professional-grade dive watch crafted in lightweight titanium— to models featuring GMT and chronograph complications, these pieces aren’t just visually striking, they’re made to perform under pressure. Many enthusiasts are drawn to the tactile feel, balanced proportions, and thoughtful functionality that make each TUDOR watch as useful as it is stylish.

Each TUDOR watch also excels in offering unmatched versatility. While robust enough for even the most exciting adventures, many models also maintain a refined presence on the wrist, making them suitable for both casual and formal occasions. Their subtle design language, expert finishing, and clean lines give them a unique presence that watch lovers find incredibly appealing.

At BENARI JEWELERS, our discerning customers are drawn to the confidence and character TUDOR’s watches exude. Whether it’s the precision engineering, the nod to mid-century design, or the reliability under extreme conditions, TUDOR consistently delivers watches that people are proud to wear year after year.
