Following my recent review of the most important releases of 2021, a comment on the video raised a really great question: Is Tudor still the best Swiss made automatic diver under $5000 in 2022? The Fortis Marinemaster, with essentially the same movement as the Tudor, costs more. So why do I consider it a good value? What are the differences between Tudor and Fortis? What affects value when it comes to watches of this pedigree? How has the market changed with the ever-rising prices of its bigger brother brand Rolex, and stiffer competition from Omega and their Seamasters, as well as competition from brands like Fortis, though smaller, but with just as much heritage? Does this threaten Tudor's reign and dominance in this price range? Join me as I borrow a contemporary Tudor Pelagos and a Black Bay 58 in blue, and compare them with my own vintage Tudor Submariner (79090) to find out the answer to all these questions and more, in this Tudor-rific special episode.
