The Tudor Heritage Chrono notably mirrors the original shape and proportions of the Tudor Oysterdate Chronograph from the early 1970s. Paying tribute to Tudor’s rich heritage, at the same time honouring the brand’s mastery in innovation, the Tudor Heritage Chrono deserves a place in your watch collection.
Here are some outstanding timepieces from the Tudor Heritage Chrono collection that are cool, contemporary, and highly covetable!
Tudor Heritage Chrono 70330N-95740-GRIDSTL

In addition to its timeless and classic design, the watch is fitted with an iconic self-winding mechanical movement. This is the same movement used for the watches in this series.

The rotating bezel with a 12-hour scale also assists the wearer in keeping track of elapsed hours, making it a popular choice amongst collectors. To top it all, the Tudor Heritage Chrono 70330N-95740-GRIDSTL also has a water resistance of up to 150 metres.
