Tudor introduces a new addition to its Ranger collection, featuring a 36mm case and a Dune White dial.
Tudor is expanding its Ranger collection with the introduction of a new 36mm watch to complement the existing 39mm version. A new "Dune White" dial is also introduced, joining the matte black dial version launched in 2022.
The watch's design is inspired by the breathtaking scenery of the Dakar Rally—the rugged rocks and towering sand dunes. The new matte "Dune White" dial features classic Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, with other hour markers in baton style and arrow-shaped hands. The seconds hand is accented with a striking burgundy tip.
The dial markers and hands are coated with Grade A Swiss Super-LumiNova luminescent material. The new "Dune White" dial is black, while the black dial is beige.
Both dials are slightly domed, as are the sapphire crystals protecting them.
The Ranger watch case is available in 36mm x 11mm and 39mm x 12mm sizes, crafted from 316L stainless steel, and water-resistant to 100 meters/330 feet. A large screw-down crown is adorned with an embossed Tudor rose logo.
The Ranger watch's case and bracelet both feature a satin-brushed finish, creating an overall matte effect befitting an adventure watch.
To enhance the case's lines, only select components are polished, including the bezel edge. The bracelet is secured with a Tudor "T-fit" clasp and features a quick-adjustment system. Easy tool-free adjustment with five positions allows for fine-tuning within an 8mm adjustment range.
In addition, the Ranger watch can be paired with a one-piece earth-toned tricolor fabric strap. This strap, woven by Julien Faure in Saint-Étienne, France, using 19th-century jacquard looms, is exceptionally robust, durable, and comfortable to wear.
The lugs on the 36mm case are 19mm wide, while those on the 39mm case are 20mm wide.
Both watches are equipped with in-house movements: the MT5400 in the 36mm model and the MT5402 in the 39mm model. Both movements feature a variable inertia balance wheel secured by a robust double-point transverse bridge.
The balance wheel operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and is fitted with a non-magnetic silicon spring.
Both movements are COSC certified, constituting precision chronometers, and feature a bidirectional rotor system, ensuring approximately 70 hours of power reserve.
