Tudor continues to explore its rich heritage with a new model combining the aesthetic codes of the past with modern touches. Like the Ranger launched in the late 1960s, the Heritage Ranger now evokes the world of Canadian rangers on their missions in the far North. The vintage spirit is notably featured in the lugs which are drilled through to accommodate the strap bars, the domed shape of the black dial and sapphire crystal, the original design of the hands ; or the antique effect of the tinted luminescent substance on the hour-markers and numerals. The enlarged 41 mm-diameter case and all the steel parts feature a satin-brushed finish that highlight the technical sophistication of a watch equipped with a robust and reliable self-winding movement. Setting the perfect finishing touch to the style, owners can chose between a bund strap with rivets cut from raw leather such as can be seen on adventurers’ equipment, or a tobacco-colored leather strap inspired by the harnesses of sled dogs and a 1950s style steel bracelet. Each of them comes with an additional forest-green camouflage fabric version.
