First launched in 1969 following Tudor’s Rolex’s success with their Day-Date collection, the Tudor Date-Day was perhaps one of Tudor’s most significant releases in their history. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Date-Day features a date and day complication at 3 and 12 o’clock, respectively, yet combines a stainless steel construction with the complications in what was an unusual move for the Rolex group that resulted in the Date-Day being considerably more affordable than its precious metal sibling. Combined with its Rolex-signed parts, the Tudor Date-Day still packed the robust nature of Rolex’s watches, but without the price tag. In another move that continued to push the Date-Day as its own collection, Tudor designed the Date-Day with a 37.5mm case instead of the Rolex Day-Dates smaller 36mm case. While a seemingly small difference by today’s standards, the resulting differential ensured that the Tudor Date-Day was favored by those looking for a large and robust watch that still featured the Day-Date’s utility, while remaining uncompromising on the practical aspects of watch wearing.

Watch is in very good overall condition. Lightly worn case with no major dings or scratches. Dial has evenly aged luminous plots and no major scratches visible on the surface. The folded link oyster bracelet has 11 links total. there is light stretch.

Offering one of Rolex's most prestigious complications in a material that Rolex only offered the Day-Date in a handful of times, the Tudor Date-Day is in a format that is sufficiently unique to enjoy in its own right.
