In 1970, the same year the world's first self-winding chronograph movement was developed and mechanical chronographs were gaining significant attention, Tudor launched its own chronograph. These timepieces were designed not just as status symbols, but to offer functionality and robustness for professionals. This commitment to pursuing practical performance for professional use has remained unwavering for half a century, continuing to this day.

A chronograph is a function that allows for the arbitrary measurement of elapsed time. Tudor is one of the brands that propelled this specialized function into a practical item during the era when wristwatches were becoming widespread. While the chronograph function itself was established in the pocket watch era (the 19th century), Tudor succeeded in miniaturizing this complex mechanism into a wristwatch. Their significant achievement was housing the delicate movement within a waterproof case, protecting it not only from water but also from dust and dirt, making it usable even in harsh conditions.
