The Watch
.
There is no Dial Layout more desirable in the vintage non-sport Rolex world than the Date + Day. They’re extremely pleasing to the eye and suitable for all occasions, throw in a gorgeous slate grey colour and you've got yourself the perfect storm.
.
Tudor introduced their Date + Day model towards the end of the 1960s, a decade after its parent company, Rolex, had released the iconic Rolex Day-Date. The Tudor Date + Day was available in steel or bi-metal versions whilst the Rolex Day-Date was only produced in gold or platinum.
