Tudor watches were made by Rolex for many years. In fact, Tudors were made from genuine Rolex parts (cases, bracelets, crowns, etc.) except the movements, which were typically ETA ebauches. Not surprisingly, such Tudors are highly collectable and thankfully widely available. Today, there is still a Rolex - Tudor connection, but for better or worse, the Tudor model line is beginning to migrate away from being Rolex clones. The Tudor Tiger chronograph is endorsed by Tiger Woods, and Tudor seems to be emerging with its own brand identity. Still very nice watches, but with less of a Rolex influence.

Both the Tiger Woods Chronograph and the Submariner models feature the Oyster case which provides exceptional protection to the movement. Oysters are sculpted from a single block of metal and the cases are individually matched with a winding crown and case back that are machine-threaded to form a virtually indestructible unit. Each crystal fits perfectly and offers superb protection and clarity. The Oyster case is, in effect, a flawless suit of armor which affords each timepiece superb toughness and reliability - ideal for those who require a watch that can withstand an active lifestyle.

The Tiger Woods Chronographs are primarily stainless steel, water-resistant gentlemen's wristwatches with round button chronograph functions, registers, tachometer and date window, and feature high quality mechanical movements with automatic winding. Watch cases are polished and satined and have an eye-catching black bezel with tachometer graduation. Dials are offered in a variety of colors with Arabic numerals and auxiliary dials for the seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hour registers. A variety of stitched leather straps with stainless steel deployment clasp and elegant metal link bracelets are also available.
