The simple, rugged watch pays homage to the British North Greenland Expedition of 1952
Tudor's newest creation—the 39mm Ranger watch—celebrates a key moment from the annals of the great post-war explosion of scientific exploration. The British North Greenland Expedition set out in two ships from the UK 70 years ago in 1952. The majority of the team members were serving military men and 30 of them went equipped with the then-new Tudor Oyster Prince, the first Tudor that was both waterproof and automatic.
The Ranger as we know it today didn’t appear in Tudor’s collection until 1962 but its name goes back as far as 1929, when the founder of Tudor Hans Wilsdorf registered the name Ranger just three years after he registered the Tudor name itself, to add a sense of adventure to certain Tudor watches.
