A Military Watch Icon Trusted By Navy SEALs & Secret Service Agents
Only one Swiss watch brand can claim to have been worn by everyone from Navy SEALs in the Vietnam War to the modern US Secret Service Counter Assault Team and the French Commando Hubert Combat Swimmers, and that brand is Tudor. While the broader industry trends toward luxury, Tudor continues to carry the proverbial tool watch torch.
In our new video on the W.O.E. YouTube Channel, we discuss Tudor’s links to the military while also unpacking the modern phenomenon of Tudors Of Espionage or T.O.E. Bottom line up front, the Shield protects the Crown.

Awesome video! I love my Lhd I had a few people tell me not to get it and now they all think it’s cool! Everybody saying the grade 2 titanium is cheap doesn’t understand that they did it cause it’s marine grade, hence “tool grade”. Also the scratches oxidize quickly so you never really see them. I couldn’t be happier with my first serious watch and see a couple more pelagos in my future.
Tudor has also cut corners by using Grade 2 titanium, which is less resistant to scratches than standard 316L stainless steel. In contrast, CWC offers the Ti300 model made from Grade 5 titanium. Even Sinn produces its renowned watches from the same steel used in U-boat construction, and the company has developed the Tegiment treatment, making their watches virtually impossible to scratch.
If Tudor wants to establish itself as the ultimate tool watch brand, it should pay attention to these details.
As the famous American builder, Tom Silva, always says, ‘Money is in the details.’
