FAQ
Is the movement made by Tudor?
Yes, this model uses the MT5402 Manufacture Calibre. It is an in-house movement that is COSC certified, meaning it has passed rigorous testing for accuracy and reliability under various conditions and temperatures.
Can I change the metal bracelet for a strap?
Yes, the 20mm lug width allows you to swap the metal bracelet for leather, rubber, or fabric options. This versatility makes the Tudor Ranger an excellent choice for those who like to customize their look.
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
The watch is rated for 100 meters of water resistance and features a screw-down crown. This makes it perfectly safe for swimming, showering, and snorkeling, though it is not designed for professional deep-sea diving.
How often does it need to be wound?
This is an automatic watch that winds itself using the motion of your wrist. If you take it off, it has a 70-hour power reserve, meaning it will stay running for nearly three days before it needs to be worn or manually wound.
Does the crystal scratch easily?
No, the watch uses a domed sapphire crystal. Sapphire is one of the hardest substances on earth, second only to diamond, making it highly resistant to scratches and impacts during daily use.
