Introduction

Launched in the 1960s and produced in its now-vintage form until the late 1980s, the Tudor Ranger was a robust field watch inspired by its cousin, the Rolex Explorer. Re-introduced in 2014, the Ranger’s role in Tudor’s history as a sports watch watchmaker cannot be overlooked. Sporting a 34mm stainless steel Rolex-signed case, caseback, crown, and bracelet, the Ranger’s construction was infamously robust for its day. Featuring a black dial with a 12-6-9 dial arrangement and a cyclops lens over its date window, the Ranger ref. 9050/0 offered an additional and valuable utility that the time-only Rolex Explorer and its predecessor time-only Ranger variants did not feature - a date display. However, like so many watches, the Ranger’s evolution certainly didn’t end when it wsas re-introduced, and so in 2022 Tudor launched a new Ranger design with the ref. 79950. Boasting the same field watch design as before, this new variant features a 39mm stainless steel case with the same rugged aesthetics, iconic shovel hands and black 3-6-9-12 dial. Versatile, robust and impossibly well-built, the Ranger ref. 79950 offers the collection’s revered aesthetics within the context of a modern timepiece that is built to last while tackling the tough challenges thrown at it.
