The Tudor Grantour: One Watch, Three Ways
The Tudor Grantour series has three distinguished models, all of which provide their own characteristic sets and functions consisting of bracelet options, dial colors, and movements. With so many choices, it’s simple to find a reference that fits your lifestyle and watch preferences while staying true to its style as a racing watch.
The first are the “three-hand” Grantour Date best replica watches with minute, central hour and seconds hands. Out of all three versions of the Grantour, this variation is possibly the most versatile. While its design mirrors that of its chronograph counterparts, the lack of subdials on the Grantour Date results of a clean style that is just as suitable at the office as it is paired with a tuxedo or on the racetrack.
The case of the watch measures 42mm and is constructed out of stainless steel in a satin and high-polish finish. A winding crown protects the 2824 movement away depths of up to 150 meters. A fixed stainless steel bezel features a black lacquer finish and highly legible Porsche-inspired Arabic graduations. You may find that, while the dial features a simplistic design, it’s actually incredibly functional. Sword hands are filled with highly visible lume, a date window is visible to the 3-hour marker, and a minute track circles the dial with a unique, scalloped design.
The two-register replica Tudor Grantour is treated as the most innovative of the three Grantour watches. While traditional chronographs, like the Rolex Daytona, require three separate clicks of the pushers to start, stop, and reset the timer function, those two models can be resetting while they’re still running with a simple click of the side pusher located at the 4-hour marker. Not only is the Fly-Back function more convenient, but it provides a much more reliable reading as the wearer doesn’t have to click multiple sides pushers to keep time.
The last variation in Tudor’s racing icon is the three-register Grantour, featuring a complex Valjoux 7753 movement developed to include a 30-minute totalizer and 12-hour counter on its dial. The dial itself proves that this is a truly impressive chronograph upon first glance. Red accents all over the dial alone telling you that this Grantour was built for speed. The minute hashes are present in all three-variations and allow the wearer to time speeds with unbelievable accuracy.
The Grantour is available with either a black, silver or white dial and comes in either a stainless steel or two-tone steel and 18 karat pink gold finish, but it is depending on which variation you decide. Whether you prefer the Grandtour Date, or the Grandtour Fly-Back, or the chronograph, they are all amazing picks.
