Introduced in the mid-20th century by Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf, the Tudor Oyster line was created to offer the renowned waterproof Oyster case and reliability of a Rolex at a more accessible price point.

These timepieces typically feature stainless steel cases, acrylic crystals, and mechanical hand-wound or automatic movements manufactured with brass, steel, and jewelled bearings.

Authentic pieces feature correct hallmark stampings on the inside of the case back, corresponding serial numbers, signature Rolex-signed crowns and cases on early models, and period-appropriate dial typography.

A classic stainless steel timepiece pairs seamlessly with tailored business attire or adds a sophisticated, understated touch to smart-casual daily wear.

Keep the movement away from strong magnetic fields and moisture, have it serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years, and avoid exposing vintage non-waterproof models to water.
