Basel 2015: Tudor North Flag Ref. 91210N. Conceived as a robust tool watch and characterised by a technical design, the new Tudor North Flag is the first Tudor model to be fitted with a movement developed and produced by the brand itself. The Tudor North Flag (ref. 91210N) can be matched to a satin-finished steel bracelet or to a matt black leather strap with yellow top-stitching with retail prices of Swiss Francs 3,500 and 3,400 respectively.
Conceived as a robust tool watch and characterised by a technical design, the new Tudor North Flag is the first Tudor model to be fitted with a movement developed and produced by the brand itself, a step evidencing an industrial strategy which aims to provide greater independence to the brand founded by Hans Wilsdorf in 1926.
The new self-winding calibre, Tudor MT5621, provides the North Flag model with a remarkable autonomy of approximately 70 hours.
In addition to the hour, minute and central second functions, it provides an instant date display visible through an aperture positioned at 3 o’clock, as well as a power reserve indicator in the form of a disc at 9 o’clock. The white hour and minute hands, just like the hour markers, are filled with luminescent material while yellow is used for the seconds hand and the marking for the 5-minute intervals.
Beating to a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the new movement is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), a first for Tudor.
The stainless steel case has a diameter of 40 mm and is entirely satin-finished for a professional matt effect which leaves no space to decorations. The prominent winding crown is lightened by its conical form. The bezel is composed of two integrated elements: matt ceramic, visible on the side, and brushed steel on the upper face.
The case back displays the movement and its open-worked rotor through the sapphire crystal case back, another novelty for a Tudor watch.

The movement is good news but I hate the hour hand
