TUDOR, Heritage Chrono Blue ref. 70330 calibre ETA 2892 fitted with Dubois Dépraz module, with opal and blue dial, double blue counter and date at 6 o'clock with cyclops glass, small seconds at 3 o'clock and 45-minute chrono counter at 9 o'clock, large orange chrono hand and orange hour-markers in Arabic numerals, blue unidirectional rotating bezel, sapphire crystal and NATO strap by Tudor. D. 42 mm Note: The name Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue pays tribute to the vintage Tudor Montecarlo model (reference 7169) from 1971. The colors chosen for this model echo the refined and luxurious summer life of Monaco. Its dial, evocative of a casino wheel, gives this Tudor watch an aura of luck and fortune, earning it the nickname of the legendary Casino Monte-Carlo. The kinship between Tudor and Rolex is evident in the Heritage Chrono Blue's Oyster case, inspired by early Tudor models. Tudor's history can be traced back to Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf, who created the brand with the aim of offering watches with Rolex quality standards, but at a more affordable price thanks to the use of externally designed movements. Thus, the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue embodies both the Tudor heritage and the horological excellence for which Rolex is renowned.
