Objects of desire...


In summer, yes we do occasionally get one in England every seven years, I wear a lot of white and blue, be it white cotton shorts or trousers (I think I have over a dozen), seersucker pull over the head shirts, and shirts in non office stripes and various hues of blue. Sometimes paired with a blue (not navy) blazer.

I have been looking for a blue dialed watch, and except for a white gold submariner (having a gold sports watch is a bit of an oxymoron in my opinion), have not found much until now.


The Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue seems to solve my dilemma.
The video is a little cheesy, but there are enough people who buy in to the classic car, boat, south of France, water skiing... (including myself I must admit). I wouldn't have chosen a cobra. A blue early 1970s pre rubber bumper 911 Targa, a Ferrari 365GTS daytona spyder, a Ford GT40.... but I think you get the idea.

Heritage is still the new "black", hence the photo of the "original", or better put inspiration for the new chrono. There are better made watches with better movements that are more waterproof and can make coffee and play some tune, but I think that is missing the point of this watch.

I want one, pure and simple.
