Vintage
An obsession, in my list if vintage Tudor and Rolex to get, one year or another, is this Tudor 7032. A kind of king of cool, ala Daytona Paul Newman. But with a bigger and thicker case. Not mine, alas. But maybe one day? Best, Nicolas
The Tudor Chronograph reference 7032 is distinguished by its fixed stainless steel bezel, setting it apart from its sibling reference 7031 which features a bakelite bezel. This particular reference is part of the early generation of Tudor chronographs, often recognized for its distinctive aesthetic elements that established the brand's independent design language within the chronograph category. It represents a significant step in Tudor's development of sports watches, moving beyond direct Rolex counterparts.
This chronograph is housed in a stainless steel case, typically measuring 39mm in diameter. It is powered by a manual-winding Valjoux 7734 caliber, known for its robust and reliable performance. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 45 hours. The watch features a plexiglass crystal, contributing to its vintage appeal and period-correct specifications.
For collectors, the reference 7032 is a sought-after piece due to its specific bezel material and its place in the lineage of Tudor chronographs. It appeals to those who appreciate the subtle variations within a model family and the historical significance of early Tudor sports watches. While grey dials are noted, black dial versions also exist, offering collectors different aesthetic choices within this reference.
