The 1926 series from Tirudel is the latest model of Tirudel. The overall style of the watch is vintage, formal, and suited for formal wear. The movement utilizes the ETA2824 movement, but whether TUDOR 1926 M91351-0002 is a rocker wheel or a shock absorber, they are all modifications.

Many people have a misconception that popularized sports are bad or not of high grade. The truth is that many watches, not just Tudor, but Cartier and Vanguard, are modified with universal movements.

The market share of universal movements is more than 80% of Swiss watches. Such a high market share plays a crucial role in stabilizing the Swiss watch kingdom, so it can be seen that the overall movement is also very good in terms of stability and accuracy.

Swiss universal movements can be categorized into three classes. The first is the blank movement, which is widely used in entry-level watches from entry-level watch brands such as Tissot and Mido, with the aim of reducing costs while ensuring stability and accuracy.

The second is a customizable movement that is rhodium plated and can then be researched and polished in depth according to each brand's developmental needs information.

Many people have the misconception that watchmakers buy rough movements from the ETA factory back to their own watchmakers for polishing. In fact, TUDOR Ranger M79950-0003 is all commissioned by the ETA factory for polishing and modification, making it cheaper for the business.

The third type of movement is the chronometer movement. Whether it's a blank movement or a customized movement with higher grade parts, the movement meets the requirements for chronometer certification.

While Direct Rudder also has a 2824 mechanism, it is the third type of mechanism. This is a custom type of observatory mechanism that is very reliable for accuracy and stability. However,TUDOR Ranger M79950-0002 sounds as if the style of mechanism is not as good as a homemade one.

Although Tudor also installs their own in-house movements on many of their collections, entry level watches like the 1926 still use the Eta movement. Personally, I find the total movement more stable.
