Tudor Tudor Sport Chronograph NWW 1642
Tudor Sport Chronograph
Mint condition Tudor Sport Chronograph model reference 20300. It comes complete with box and papers and was bought from authorised Tudor dealers in Greece. The card is marked with the dealer but is not dated, but dates to approximately 2011 when these were last a current model. At that time the retail price was £4500. It has seen very little wear as its in mint condition and recently serviced prior to advertising. It is a large and substantial watch in a bold and distinctive case design with wide lugs, large crown protecting shoulders and thick case. It is of particular interest as the movement is a Valjoux 7750 and not one of the ETA piggyback modular movements, so the movement is reliable and solid with readily available parts if needed and easy for watchmakers to service. Also of interest is the screw down pushers for water resistance, these are not on a screw thread but are quarter turn locking pushers. The date at the 6 position is adjusted via a recessed pusher at the 10 position and it comes with the Tudor logo hand tool to change the date. Dimensions are: width is 40 mm excluding the crown, 44 mm including the crown, 47 mm lug to lug and 14 mm thick.
