Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, took over the Tudor brand in 1926, and today's company was formed on 6 March 1946 as a second firm alongside Rolex. Its Submariners from the 1950s onwards were made for professional diving, and the French Navy issued the blue 9401. The Black Bay collection, born in 2012, reinterpreted that heritage and established the brand with in-house calibres from 2016. Today it adds models such as Pelagos and Royal.
