Basel World 2013: Introducing The Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue (Live Pics, Full Specs, Pricing)

DIRECT FROM BASEL WORLD 2013: This is a huge year for Tudor, and for us fake watch lovers in the US of A. That's because Tudor will be, for the first time in about a decade, sold in our fare nation. And here is the absolute latest new releases from Tudor that you'll be seeing in stores later this year - introducing the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue.

The Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue is a spin-off of the wildly successful Tudor Heritage Chrono's of 2010, available in both Black and Grey. While those two replica watches with "home plate" features and a black bezel were in tribute to the reference 7031, this new fake watch is inspired by a later model, the so called "Monte Carlo" reference 7169.

Here it is, in the metal. You can see that the design of the Heritage Chrono Blue is incredibly faithful to the original 7169. And, if you compare this fake watch to the ealier Heritage Chronos, you will notice some small but important differences that to a vintage lover, will make a world of difference.

First, look at the hour markers. Though applied and thoroughly modern, they really, really resemble the painted tritium markers of the 1970s. They are double-beveled as well. They are entirely different than those found on the "Home Plate" Heritage Chronos. Here is the brand new Tudor Heritage Chrono blue next to a reference 7149, which is not exactly the fake watch on which this was based in that it has a tachy bezel instead of a rotating bezel, but close enough to get the idea of how closely Tudor paid attention to its history.

The hands are SuperLuminova-filled, and no longer take the triangular look of the original Heritage Chrono. The blue, orange, red, and grey of the dial, hands, sub-dials, and rehaut really work beautifully together. The dial features two counters located inside two blue trapezoidal shapes, one at 3 o'clock for the small seconds hand, and one at 9 o'clock for the famous 45-minute counter that marked the history of TUDOR chronographs in the 1970s.

The bezel is blue aluminum and rotates bi-directionally. And, as Tudor points out, one can display a second time-zone with this bezel, which gives the Heritage Chrono an entirely new purpose to its already useful design. The case remains 42mm with water resistance of 150 meters, or 500 feet. Both the pushers and crown are knurled, and unlike the Heritage Chrono Black and Grey, pushers are not capped in any colors.

As before, the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue will be powered by a 2892 coupled with a chronograph module. The fake watch will come with a rugged Oyster bracelet as well as a multi-color fabric strap, milled in France by a legendary weaver (who also supplies the robes to the Vatican. Here is a picture of the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue on woven strap on my wrist:

And here it is on bracelet.:

Looks pretty great both ways, no? I loved the original Heritage Chronos and I still do, but to me, this new blue iteration is an even more authentic take on vintage Tudor. Not to mention it uses colors you seldom see in watchmaking. And while this fake watch is not anything revolutionary, it is an excellent extension and evolution of what Tudor has been doing for the past few years.

The price of the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue is 4200 CHF, so expect it to be around the same in US dollars when it hits stores later this year. More details can be found right here.
