History

Tudor was founded in 1926 in Geneva at the initiative of Hans Wilsdorf, also the founder of Rolex; both brands remain under the umbrella of the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation. Tudor's original purpose was to offer watches with Rolex-level robustness at a more accessible price, pairing third-party movements with cases and bracelets from its sister house.

The Ranger name first appeared on the 1965 Oyster Prince Ranger, launched to mark the 70th anniversary of the British North Greenland Expedition, for which Tudor equipped several team members. That original model stood out for its high-contrast dial and large Arabic numerals, designed for legibility in extreme cold and light conditions.

Tudor revived the name in 2022 with the M79950-0001, a 39mm steel case reinterpreting that heritage with the manufacture caliber MT5402: an automatic movement with a bidirectional rotor system, COSC certified, offering 70 hours of power reserve. Unlike the Black Bay and Pelagos references already in Cazador's catalog, the Ranger positions itself as a land-exploration watch rather than a dive watch, with 100 meters of water resistance versus the 200-500 meters of those models. [UNVERIFIED: we do not confirm whether this specific reference remains in Tudor's active catalog as of July 2026].
