Tudor Heritage Chrono

Created at crossroads of vintage and velocity, the new Tudor Heritage Chrono, a timely addition to the Tudor Sport collection, is ingeniously inspired by the celebrated Tudor Oysterdate Chronograph of the early 1970s.

The 2010 Tudor Heritage Chrono mirrors the original shape and proportion of the middle case, bezel, lug and bracelet of the 1970s model. But there are some new different details: the bevelied and polished edges of the lugs, the slick, stylized shoulders to protect the crown. Tudor Heritage Chrono was numbered in 70330, with a black aluminium disc, and comes with both a three-link solid steel bracelet with a new clasp and Tudor shield logo.
