Tudor 70330B Review: Still a good Chronograph watch?

It certainly is not easy to pick a watch from the many watches of Tudor. Today we are here to introduce and review a gorgeous blue chronograph watch. Stay with us at Saatsaz Watch, and we hope you enjoy this Tudor 70330B review. But before learning about the watch, let’s briefly learn about the brand so you get a glimpse of Tudor’s heritage and quality.

The founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, registered Tudor as a sister company in 1926. Initially, Tudor manufactured military-grade and dive watches for navy seals. But in 1946, the company was repurposed, and Tudor started manufacturing more affordable alternatives to Rolex watches. This was the start of Tudor’s independent watch manufacturing and the origin of why it is known as the poor man’s Rolex.

Now that we know the origins of Tudor, it is time to start reviewing the Tudor heritage chronograph 70330B watch.

Tudor 70330B Review

Tudor’s history of vintage chronographs is rich, and their watches have always been a success. Thus, in 2013 they launched the Heritage Collection. The gorgeous Tudor reference 70330B blue watch is among this collection and is a redesigned version of the Tudor Montecarlo ref 7169 watch.

Design

Starting with Tudor 70330B design, this watch’s dial has blue, white, and orange colors combined so perfectly that makes it a pleasure to look at. The luminous pointed hands, along with the orange second hand, run beautifully on the dial. The ref 70330B also has a subtle date window inside the dial at 6 o’clock.

Case

The Tudor ref 7033/0B watch has a durable 42mm stainless steel case with beveled edges that indicate the effort that they put into increasing their watches’ quality. The case is also polished and has a satin finish. The blue bi-directional rotating bezel is used as a second time-zone and is an incredibly rare feature on chronograph watches. A knurled screw down crown and pushers are also there to add to the beauty of this watch, but they are a bit small.

Movement

Regarding the technical aspects, the Tudor 70330B watch runs on the Swiss ETA 2892 self-winding mechanical movement with an added chronograph module that can measure up to 45 minutes. Also, the Tudor 70330B’s power reserve is 42 hours which is pretty good.

Durability

Tudor 70330B durability is pretty good as this watch has a sturdy and robust case and screw down crown, and the overall construction is top-notch and tight. Also, a scratch-resistant saphire crystal sits on top of the dial. As a result, the Tudor 70330B watch has a water resistance of 150 meters / 500 feet.

Bracelet

The Tudor 70330B comes with a durable steel bracelet that is as comfortable as the Black Bay sports watches. Also, you can choose a colorful fabric strap over the steel one when purchasing.

Overall, the Tudor Heritage blue chronograph ref 70330B watch is an absolute beauty to wear and sturdy enough to withstand everyday use as well as semi-harsh activities. It also has a good third-party movement that runs the watch.
