With a unique and modern design, it\u2019s quite drastically different from the ever-popular Tudor Heritage collection that everyone is infatuated with at the moment. But, that shouldn\u2019t make this model any less impressive and important, as it is a true standout among the various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/tudor-1.html\">Tudor watches<\/a> currently in production.

Not only did this watch feature impressive new features like Tudor\u2019s first-ever in-house movement and their first exhibition caseback to show it off, but it was also the first watch in years that was an entirely new entity. The North Flag wasn\u2019t another dive watch, it wasn\u2019t a heritage-inspired Back Bay, and it wasn&#8217;t like any of the other Tudor watches currently available. The North Flag was something completely different.<\/p>\n<p>However, as we\u2019d later learn, despite being a thoroughly modern timepiece, the Tudor North Flag actually has its roots in Tudor&#8217;s vintage catalog &#8211; its design is directly linked to the Tudor Ranger II of the 1970s. What Tudor did &#8211; remarkably elegantly &#8211; was pull direct inspiration from their own collection while making it feel totally contemporary and fresh. And that\u2019s something well love about Tudor watches, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40428 size-full\" title=\"Tudor North Flag - Bracelet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-127383w.jpg\" alt=\"Tudor Watches North Flag Overview\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-127383w.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-127383w-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-127383w-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-127383w-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-127383w-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-127383w-380x380.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Case<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While that striking dial might be what initially attracts you to this unique Tudor model, the case of the North Flag is incredibly sophisticated. What the North Flag did was position itself as a luxury sports watch, featuring elements like amazingly clean lines &#8211; incredibly angular and almost razor-sharp around the edges. Of course, as we mentioned above, there\u2019s also that display caseback that totally elevates the look.<\/p>\n<p>The Tudor North Flag also has integrated lugs that make it feel totally unique, as well as being a callback to the distinctive 70\u2019s shape we get from the Ranger II. No detail was spared here either, the tapered crown even getting some fine detail attention. Finally, there\u2019s that smooth bezel which not only features clean lines in stainless steel but also a scratch-resistant and high-tech ceramic ring around the outer edge. Water-resistant to 100m, the case of the North Flag remains unmistakably modern, despite drawing inspiration from a vintage model from the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40427 size-full\" title=\"Tudor North Flag - Strap\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag91210N-123516-s.jpg\" alt=\"Tudor North Flag Comparison Review\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag91210N-123516-s.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag91210N-123516-s-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag91210N-123516-s-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag91210N-123516-s-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag91210N-123516-s-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag91210N-123516-s-380x380.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dial<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now we\u2019ll circle back to that dial, which is distinctly dark yet incredibly legible with a modern and minimalist feel to it. While this dial only has two Arabic numerals (at 12 and 6 o\u2019clock) they\u2019re purposefully large and dominate the dial. The rest of the hour markers are rectangular, also applied and coated in white lume for high-visibility in the dark. At the 3 o&#8217;clock location, you\u2019ll see the date in a small rectangular window, and at the 9 o\u2019clock position, there is a bright yellow power reserve indicator.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the power reserve works as a rotating disc, adding another element of modernity to this watch. You\u2019ll see Tudor incorporated the punchy yellow around the dial as well, in both the minute markers above the hour markers as well as on the thin second hand with its rectangular tip.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40425 size-full\" title=\"Tudor North Flag Dial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-125126p.jpg\" alt=\"Tudor Watches North Flag Review Dial In-House Movement\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-125126p.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-125126p-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-125126p-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-125126p-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-125126p-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-North-Flag-91210N-125126p-380x380.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Movement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Although the design is certainly worth discussing, it is the movement inside this watch that is the real showstopper. The aesthetics are a refreshing and important decision from the Tudor brand, but the fact that they used this watch to debut their first in-house movement is just as important.&nbsp;The reason why this is so important is that the entire Tudor brand was originally built on third-party movements &#8211; to finally manufacture their own caliber shows a real turning point, not only in their market position but also in terms of their brand identity.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the movement itself, the Calibre MT5621is quite impressive for Tudor\u2019s first in-house design. It\u2019s an automatic movement featuring a bidirectional winding system with an anti-magnetic silicon hairspring, 4Hz beat-rate, and variable inertia oscillator. It also boasts an impressive COSC certification and a 70-hour power reserve.&nbsp;Overall, the North Flag is impressive, whether you look at the uniqueness of the case and dial or the technology of its movement. We hope that next time you\u2019re browsing Tudor watches you\u2019ll give the North Flag a second glance, as it is easily one of the unsung heroes from the brand&#8217;s catalog, and offers tremendous value for money.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40426 size-full\" title=\"Tudor North Flag\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-91210N-126863s.jpg\" alt=\"Tudor Watches North Flag Power Reserve\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-91210N-126863s.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-91210N-126863s-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-91210N-126863s-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-91210N-126863s-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-91210N-126863s-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/zTudor-91210N-126863s-380x380.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s be honest: the North Flag has gone by the wayside the past few years.
