Tudor Baselworld 2014, the new Bomb: Heritage Ranger!
I always loved the Tudor Ranger, which is a kind of Rolex Explorer Sister.
And most of all the first one.
Tudor, this year, did it again, and decided to re visit this classic in a faithful way.
Case: 41 mm. Stainless Steel.
Movement: ETA 2824, Automatic, 28 800 vibrations per hour, 38 hours power reserve
Offered with two straps, one leather " Bund ", another Nylon Nato.
A clear winner, in my book.
I have the serious feeling that it will become a new Community Watch...
Bravo, Tudor!
Best,
Nicolas

+1 on that ! .. A real strong& cool, but balanced boy.. Good dominant appeal, it appears !
.. I've looked up the historical one haven't found it yet - need better search criteria, maybe. So Tudor does good things, I am continuing to learn.. Thx for this intro & share, Best, hs
I am very enthusiast. At the point I am considering...
Building a small collection of Tudor Heritage, in parallel with the originals... ;) Best, Nicolas
Great watch
Great watch but I can't imagine it'll be a Community watch on those straps. We should commission a community strap for it ! Dean
I like it a lot!
Must say this one looks really nice! :) Another one to see in real... Best Blomman
Community ?.. By now: Polaris, DSAs, Reverso TT1931, Reverso Rouge (?), and next ??...
.. more than one desired possibilities, I would assume.. Always nice to have special piece(s) in common, forging the bonds. - Hmmmm.... Best, hs
Winner of show perhaps?
I like it too. Classic, sober, and somber. And in the 2,000 Euro price range. With some really nice details; high relief crown, beautifully stitched leather strap and a Camo woven strap. However, on the bracelet version there's one detail they missed! The...
If there is a bracelet version, which I ignore...
And mabe the endlinks come with the bracelet, if a bracelet version is available? Best, Nicolas
From the press release
You can clearly see that they need to develop suitable end links for the bracelet version. But you're right, I would do just fine with the calf strap version and the nylon strap; and the buckle on both leather strap versions are identical; so you can own ...
Ok, now I get it. Do you happen to know the difference in price with and without the
Bracelet? If it is only 3 or 400 euros, it may well be a worthy alternative, if it much more I guess thety won't sell too many with the bracelet... Best, and thanks, my friend. Nicolas
The straps
It comes with either a bund style strap option, or a bracelet, and both options come with the extra camo fabric style strap. Price differential I hear is CHF 100.00. Dean
At this price, you can also take the bracelet!
Actually, I find it funny without the end links. Thanks for the information, Dean. Best, Nicolas.
I don't know...
But considering the Tudor Heritage Black Bay came in two variants; a leather strap model with a deployant clasp or a bracelet model (a nylon strap was included with both models) and that both of the models retailed in the United States at the same price, ...
Very nice....
Only thing I wish it had was a thicker bezel. Bezel is too thin for my liking. Overall it's a job well done! Tudor knows what the collectors want. Unfortunately I find most of these modern remakes a bit too chunky. If there was more moderation in the upda...
The Heritage Ranger is an important watch...
and a bit hit for Tudor. I spent quite some time in Basel talking to the Tudor team, including the designer. The watch is a product of Tudor listening to and learning from their heritage and the vintage collector community. They are very clear that the wa...
Agree. It is like if they spent a lot of time in the watch foras to see what people is
Running after... The choice of straps, the bracelet without end links, the hand painted and colored index numbers, the drilled lugs, well, the whole Watch is suggesting that Tudor wanted to please its Community. I like that! Best, and thanks for your inpu...
Great design - closer to the essence of the 1016
than anything else that I've seen in production. Talking visually here. Tudor is putting out some beautiful watches.
We agree too often, Nicolas.....but not here
For one tenth of the price of this Tudor, you could get a Hamilton Khaki..... is that such an inferior watch? I understand that Tudor are trying to provide inspiration to the heritage theme, but I am not sure this is doing it for me. If you make a theme o...
The plastic Hamilton maybe, certainly not the ss one. ;)
How much this Tudor will be priced? 2000 Euros? With two straps and a bracelet? Well, at this price, in the modern world, you don't have too many nice watches, or at least, interesting ones. The Longines Legend Diver was even cheaper, 6 years ago, but it ...
its good to disagree occasionally....
I ask myself this question..... "If i went to the safe and had my Explorer 1 and the Ranger in there.... which oner would i wear?" Uhhhhmmmmm.
you know what I meant...
....Explorer 14270..... The Ranger would be always out of Range.
We agree too often, Nicolas.....but not here.

How nice!! I really like it! Specially with the plain leather (calf) set ...
