We thought it may be coming from Tudor before Baselworld and turns out it did up happening! Tudor introduced to the world their first in-house movement, the MT5621. The first watch to feature the movement? Introducing the Tudor North Flag.
A cool looking timepiece on first glance. The yellow accents certainly do provide a nice contrast to the black dial. The indicator at 9 o’clock is for the Power Reserve and the date is located at 3 o’clock. The watch is made from 316L stateliness steel and is 40mm in size.

See the three words at the 6 o’clock position in the picture above: Chronometer Officially Certified. This represents a step forward for Tudor. As noted in the opening paragraph, this watch is the first to feature the in house movement by Tudor. The manufacture movement MT5621. This has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, has a non magnetic silicon balance spring, and is certified by the COSC.

The watch is available in two variations. With a stainless steel bracelet, or a yellow accented black leather strap.
The bracelet version of the Tudor North Flag
Apart from looking great, there is one other major draw card about this watch. The price.
The leather strap model will be $3,550 US Dollars and the bracelet model will be $3,650 US Dollars.
These two watches represent tremendous value!
