Fans of Rolex may be familiar with the Rolex Explorer 36mm, a quintessential example of a yougntimer and a greatly versatile piece. For years, enthusiasts have been hoping for a Polar White version, a dream left unfulfilled by Rolex. However, Tudor has responded to this demand in their manner with the release of the Ranger 36mm with a fresh, light-colored Dune White dial.
The Tudor Ranger’s lineage may not be crystal clear, yet it’s undoubtedly steeped in adventure and exploration, akin to its cousin, the Rolex Explorer. The seed of the Ranger collection was sown during the British North Greenland Expedition (BNGE) in 1952-54, where 30 scientists were given the Tudor Oyster Prince 7809, their steadfast companion amidst harsh conditions. Nonetheless, the aesthetic of this watch was far removed from the classic design we associate with the Tudor Ranger today.
Rising metaphorically from the underwater depths, the renowned Zodiac watch brand unveils its latest creation after a challenging period that resulted in a halt in its import of new watches into the US. The cause behind this pause was primarily the economic uncertainties sparked by the ongoing trade wars which have been significantly impacting the luxury industry. But now, this esteemed historic maker of dive watches has re-emerged, introducing an exciting collaboration with GiantMouse, a based in the US knife maker.
The result of this unique partnership is the Zodiac X GiantMouse Pro-Diver Automatic ZO3652 Watch & Knife Set. This product set features a steel-cased version of the ISO-certified, Zodiac Pro-Diver, equipped with a distinctive color scheme. The nautical theme continues with a limited-edition diver-style knife from GiantMouse, which promises to be more than just a stylish accessory.
