In 2013, TUDOR became the official timing partner of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The event, which began in 2010, features several different classes of cars competing in endurance events taking part in seven races across the world, with each race being at least 6 hours in length.


This partnership has aided in further cementing TUDOR’s long-standing association with motor sports, with the event forming a perfect partnership as they both focus particularly on engineering precision, innovation and performance.

The TUDOR Grantour line is available in three models. The Grantour Chrono Fly-Back features a 42mm case and a Fly-Back pusher in the 4 o’clock position. The 60-minute counter in the 9 o’clock position is set among a background resembling transmission belts – further symbolising the brand relationship with cars and motorsport. The model is available in both steel and a combination of steel and 18 carat pink gold.

 The Grantour Chrono has a sleek and smooth design, encompassing the association with motorsports and racing cars perfectly. The watch comes complete with a 42mm steel case, allowing wearers to feel something substantial on their wrist without being too obstructive. The timepiece features TUDOR’s self-winding mechanical chronograph movement that has a power reserve of 46 hours. Furthermore, the watch has a date complication situated in the 4.30 region of the dial and a 30-minute totalizer at 3 o’clock and a 12-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock. Waterproof up to 150m (550 ft.) and a crown that screws down to ensure maximum protection, this model is also available with a sapphire crystal that will protect against knocks and scratches.


The Grantour Date, the third model in the line, has a polished and satin finish black bezel. The in-house self-winding mechanical movement has a power reserve of around 38 hours. The simplified dial features a date complication in the 3 o’clock position which is protected by a sapphire crystal. The watch is waterproof to a depth of 150m (500 ft.) which is further aided by a screw-down winding crown. A timepiece suitable for all occasions, whether it be in the office or at the beach, the additional options of a silver dial or bracelet allow you to customise this watch to your needs.
