Watches in the spirit of the "Ranger Knight": Boldness, and time travel

Time never freezes anywhere, even in one of the coldest places in the world, the island of Grayling.

On July 8, 1952, the North Greenland Expedition set off from Detford on the River Thames in London for a two-year study of the Greenland Ice Sheet. 2022, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Expedition to North Greenland, Tudor launches the Ranger Table, an intrepid quest to discover the spirit of the "Ranger".

Known as the "Little South Pole", Greenland is the closest subcontinent to the North Pole. Here all year round ice and snow cover, is the polar explorer's dream place, has bred a lot of exploration inspiration. 1952, Britain set up by the scientists and sailors composed of the British North Greenland Expedition, went to Greenland to carry out glacier investigation, seismic investigation and other scientific investigation and research work in the polar environment.

Infected by the courageous and fearless spirit of such students, Tudor watch for them can be equipped with 30 pieces of China's latest research at the time the launch of the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch Oyster Prince, and the special need to use the "Arctic" oil to analyze the lubrication system as well as the enterprise is equipped with a strap extension device, in order to better adapt to the temperature of our polar region, the exploration team. The temperature in our polar regions, the explorers will also be able to wear the watch outside the sleeves of their snow and wind coats to keep track of the working time.

Precise timekeeping is especially important to the research team in Greenland, where there are extreme days and nights. Two years of scientific research on the ice sheet not only collected valuable polar data, but was also one of the first long-term tests of the tiller watch under real extreme conditions.

The team carried out "destructive" tests on the watch: they monitored and recorded changes in the accuracy of the Tudor Oyster Prince in response to hourly signals from BBC radio.

Their feedback on the performance data served as an important reference for the subsequent improvement of the TUDOR Ranger M79950-0002. The polar explorers were also impressed by the robustness and reliability of the tiller. One member of the expedition wrote a letter to the tiller upon his return from Greenland, which gave the impression that the watch "maintains a very high degree of accuracy and never needs to be linked by hand".

The word "Ranger" was not yet engraved on the Oyster Prince, but the TUDOR Ranger M79950-0003 was born out of the idea of an adventure watch, whose ethos is summed up by the word "Ranger": to be bold, to challenge, to explore.

In fact, the word "Ranger" has a much deeper history than the British North Greenland Study Tour. As early as three years after Hans Wilsdorf (Hans Wilsdorf) registered the trademark "The TUDOR", he registered the professional name "Ranger", but at that time, China only used it to refer to some of the enterprise's watches to add some elements of adventure tourism, rather than the enterprise's models. At that time, however, it was only used in China as a way to add an element of adventure tourism to some of the company's watches, rather than as an exclusive designation for a particular model. Until the 1960s, the Tudor Ranger model as we know it and its development represented the study of an aesthetic design style that gradually took shape.

The new model of the Ranger watch not only traces the bold spirit and brilliant adventures of the North Greenland Expedition, but also skillfully combines advanced watchmaking technology and classic aesthetic elements, including dials 3,6,9 and 12 o'clock position of the Arabic numerals and the unique design of the hands for the Royal Tudor Adventure Watch tradition and the spirit of the new color.

At the same time, TUDOR has invited spokesman David Beckham to wear the new TUDOR Ranger watch to illustrate the spirit of modern adventure.

The new TUDOR Ranger watch adopts the original TUDOR movement MT5402, which can ensure the accuracy and durability of the watch by means of a balance wheel, a non-magnetic silicon hairspring, and a transverse plate for fixing, etc. The problem of error in the operation of the movement is even far lower than that of the national Swiss government's official chronometer certification and management regulations: TUDOR's movement operation generates an error analysis of only between -2 and +4 seconds, while the Swiss company The Official Chronometer Office only requires information on the daily economic average of the student between -4 and +6 seconds.

The 70-hour power reserve also eliminates the need for the wearer to manually link the watch frequently: if the watch is removed on Friday evening, it can be worn without having to be linked and calibrated again on Monday morning.

In addition, to emphasize the purist spirit of the main function watch, the TUDOR Ranger's 39 mm case and bracelet have been brushed, with an overall matte effect that is complemented by a polished technical finish on the inner edge of the bezel, among other details, to give it a more natural elegance.

The clash of colors also gives the new model its traditional aesthetics as well as its novelty: the beige hour-markers and the matte black ribbed dial are in understated harmony, while the distinctive arrow-shaped hands and the second Burgundy hand hints at a bold jump.

Three specially designed straps further emphasize TUDOR's resolutely progressive attitude. The olive green jacquard strap with red and beige stripes,TUDOR 1926 M91351-0002 the black leather composite strap and the 316L steel strap with TUDOR's "T-fit" clasp, which facilitates quick adjustment of the length of the watch, make the timepiece particularly convenient and practical.

That brave man moved on. Every improvement made to the Knight's Watch by TUDOR ensures that the watch is strong, durable, reliable and accurate, inspiring every wearer to show the spirit of chivalry, to keep up with the times, even in difficult situations, and to keep on opening up new modes of life's adventures.

The world is endless, break the bottleneck of life, dare to explore, dare to do something, and compete with Tudor to be the pioneer of exploration.
