Introduction
A sophisticated timepiece that epitomizes Tudor's commitment to both elegance and functionality, the Tudor Advisor was introduced in 1957 and produced until 1968 as an alarm wristwatch that would remind its wearer of whatever upcoming appointment, meeting or other such event they had that day. Boasting a sleek stainless steel case on an Oyster bracelet and with a polished steel bezel, the Advisor’s most notable construction detail is the use of dual crowns, as its alarm function is not set or wound through the same crown that winds and sets its time-keeping functions. Fitted with a simple sunburst silver dial adorned with applied hour markers, the Advisor’s display highlights its alarm function’s distinctive red hand that adds a touch of flair to its design.
Showcasing Tudor’s mission to produce no-frills timepieces for the everyday man who needed a reliable watch to perform its function while managing the rough and tumble of everyday life, Tudor thought it was appropriate to re-release the Advisor in 2011 as part of their heritage collection as they fused those vintage principles with their modern horological skill and craftsmanship. Offered here we have the Tudor Advisor ref. 79620TC, boasting a 42mm titanium construction, and a “cognac” dial that was debuted in 2016. Boasting a unique blend of functionality and history, the ref. 79620TC is a wonderful piece of Tudor watchmaking.

THE DIAL
Launched in 2016, this example is the cognac variant, as distinguished by its brown-tinted dial that its red accents work perfectly with.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Almost exclusively made of titanium, the ref. 79620TC's construction is light on the wrist for its 42mm profile while still managing to retain an impressive wrist presence thanks to its dual crown design and pusher.

Our Perspective
Sharing Tudor's vision as a practical tool watch that doesn't use distracting design details to hide what it is really about, the Advisor Alarm is a physically loud timepiece with a quietly understated design.
