<\/a><\/p>\nThe new Tudor Northflag next to the Ranger II<\/p>\n
The Tudor Northflag is back<\/p>\n
Just like in 2015, Tudor<\/a> emphasizes that the Northflag is based on the 1973 Ranger II. Back in 2015, it was quite a surprise when Tudor introduced its first in-house-developed movement. As I clearly recall, nobody expected Tudor to break Wilsdorf\u2019s promise not to use in-house movements for this brand.<\/p>\n The new Northflag next to the previous model<\/p>\n Tudor had been teasing us on Instagram, so we definitely had expected something new! I don\u2019t think many had expected a new Northflag, but here it is! The new 40mm Northflag is a flyer-style GMT watch powered by a Master Chronometer-certified MT5652-U movement. Let\u2019s have a closer look.<\/p>\n Tudor Northflag ref. M9140G1A0U-0001<\/p>\n At first glance, the new Tudor Northflag looks more like the 2015 model than the 1973 Ranger II. If we look more closely, however, we see that the hour markers at 12 and 6 o\u2019clock are very prominent, just as they were on the Ranger II. We also see that the hands on the Northflag have a similar shape to those on the 1973 Tudor reference 9111\/0.<\/p>\n Dimensions<\/p>\n The watch has a 40mm stainless steel case with a 12.7mm thickness and a 48.8mm lug-to-lug. Tudor combines satin-brushed and polished surfaces with a fixed stainless steel bezel and an integrated H-link bracelet.<\/p>\n Dial and hands<\/p>\n The black dial has a sunburst finish and features large luminous ceramic hour markers, a 24-hour rehaut, and a date display at 3 o\u2019clock. The upper three central hands indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds, while a separate 24-hour hand provides the GMT indication. Both the central seconds hand and the GMT hand are bright yellow, matching some of the design elements on the 2015 Northflag.<\/p>\n A screw-down crown and screw-in case back ensure the watch\u2019s 100m water resistance. The case back includes a domed sapphire crystal to reveal the movement.<\/p>\n Tudor MT5652-U<\/p>\n Caliber MT5662-U<\/p>\n Inside is Tudor\u2019s in-house-developed caliber MT5652-U, an automatic GMT movement ticking at 4 Hz (28,800 vph) and providing a 65-hour power reserve. It uses a variable-inertia balance and a silicon balance spring. The caliber also carries both COSC and METAS certifications, with the latter specifying an accuracy tolerance of 0\/+5 seconds per day and resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss.<\/p>\n Tudor T-fit bracelet<\/p>\n Just like the case, the bracelet has satin-brushed and polished surfaces.<\/p>\n The integrated bracelet uses Tudor\u2019s T-fit clasp, which provides five adjustment positions across an 8mm range without tools.<\/p>\n Initial impressions<\/p>\n Back in 2015, I didn\u2019t find the Northflag particularly convincing, and I must admit I haven\u2019t seen many in person since then. However, my appreciation for this model grew over the years, and I noticed I wasn\u2019t alone. Some of you expressed a wish for the Northflag\u2019s comeback.<\/p>\n This new version could definitely cater to watch enthusiasts who love a GADA (Go Anywhere, Do Anything) watch. The dial of this new Tudor Northflag appears more balanced than the one in the 2015 model, especially without the power reserve indicator. A GMT function, 100m water resistance, and a Master Chronometer-certified movement make this watch a solid everyday companion for any adventure. The movement is nicely decorated, making the watch worthy of a display case back!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
