Tudor’s Celebrity Ambassadors: #BornToDare

What is it that makes Tudor watches so unique and in demand? The brand has married quality design with a sporty and chic style. These elegant Swiss-made timepieces were originally the brainchild of world famous luxury brand Rolex’s founder Hans Wildorf. He conceived of these watches to have all of Rolex’s durable reliability and time precision but at a more wallet-friendly price point.

Swiss watches have a well-deserved reputation for mechanical excellence and precision of detail in their manufacturing. This makes them some of the world’s most accurate timepieces, and they have been in demand for decades. In fact, the Tudor Prince Submariner was produced for the US Navy starting in the 1960s, while the French Navy adopted the Tudor Marine Nationale.

While its parent company is a favorite of business executives, Hollywood elites, and politicians, Tudor sets itself apart with a more rough-and-tumble, sportier demographic. When you look at someone wearing a Tudor watch, you immediately know that they value both style and function. These watches are designed to not only look great but also hold up to active use.

Tudor launched a 2017 campaign, #BornToDare, with a number of celebrity spokespeople. The first leg of the campaign ran in May 2017 and featured two of the biggest names in the world of sports: football player David Beckham and New Zealand rugby team the All Blacks. These two sports icons embody Tudor’s effortlessly chic and active image. Recently, Tudor added famous pop singer Lady Gaga to its roster of celebrity endorsements. She was the first female watch ambassador for the brand and her exciting campaign has already brought critical acclaim and market attention.
