Tudor Ranger 2022 watch

Wrist Watch
Tudor resurrects the Ranger again. The beginning of its history in the company is associated with the watches of the participants of the British expedition to North Greenland (this year it turns 70 years old and the release of Ranger-2022 was timed to coincide with this). The scientific mission, led by Commander James Simpson, lasted from July 1952 to August 1954. In total, 30 people took part in it, and 26 of them used the Oyster Prince 7808 watch.

However, the watches are more similar to their predecessors from the 1960s: Tudor Oyster Prince Ranger 7995 of 1965 with a black dial and Arabic numerals 3,6,9 and 12 and Tudor Oyster Prince Ranger 9050 of 1969, in which the rose on the dial is replaced by shield came.

The Ranger was reissued in 2014 in a 41 mm case, with a rose on the dial and ETA 2824/2 inside.

The new versions are released in 39mm diameter. On their dial, the shield replaced the rose again.

Inside is no longer an ETA, but its own caliber MT5402 with a 70‑hour power reserve. The caliber MT5402 (MT stands for In-house Tudor) was first introduced in 2018 in the Heritage Black Bay Fifty-Eight 79030N. This caliber is COSC chronometer certified.

The watch is offered on a steel bracelet or jacquard strap by Julien Faure. It is woven in the French city of Saint-Etienne, according to traditional technology on jacquard looms of the 19th century. A third version is also available, in natural rubber and black leather with a textile-like texture, beige stitching and folding buckle.
