4:40 he finally opens the box.

This Ranger is definitely my favorite of the "heritage" watches. You did very well.

Armand i have enjoyed you videos for a very long time. wanted to say excellent choice, love when people make their own decisions and don't just follow the herd. it suits you well! would love to see it on the camo strap. keep up the historical videos, enjoy those! also nvr mind people on the length of your videos, stay true to your indepth style. Basel 2017 is here shortly, i have been waiting not so patiently before i make my new purchase, coming at you from Barbados, you have fans from around the globe my friend.

Fantastic watch. I bought mine new from my local AD after this model was discontinued but before the new ranger was released. That kind of bummed me out but I prefer this 41mm over the 39mm. When I bought mine the camouflage strap didn't come complementary but I sourced one from my AD. It's just a great all around timepiece!!!

Always look forward to your excellent reviews and here with these old pocket watch styles I even more, being a lost down the rabbit hole type watch fan, appreciate your excellent videos, keep up the good work.

Hi ARMAND great video. One of many. Thank you. All the best to you.

Congratulations on your new Tudor. Excellent choice and fit. Wear it in good health for many, many years and pass it on to a future son or daughter one day. Your reviews are extremely well done and very thorough - I enjoy your channel very much.

Excellent, comprehensive review! I've got this with the bund strap, as I dress casually most of the time. I may get the brushed steel bracelet next for a different look.

Nice review Armand. Fantastic addition to your collection

A very in depth review of this wonderful piece which suits you to a T as for me my grail is the Pelagos blue dial as i am lacking a luxury diver the only thing I missed was one "equally" of yours, vrry nice det up to show the watch which i wish you wear it in good healt.

I tried one on the bracelet at the AD yesterday. It was perfect size for a big guy like me. I am 6'4", 320 lbs with an 8.25 inch wrist.

Nice watch ⌚️ enjoy all your videos keep up the good work

Great video, enjoyed viewing it.

A beautiful tudor it is, it looks better and better the more I keep looking at it. I’d better get myself one.

great review, the Ranger is watch I have long admired as it is a slightly "left field" choice rather than the common herd of black bays

Great choice I really admire the thin case

Congratulations. Great choice

Beautiful watch! Congrats on the new set up too, looks great. If you want to up the prod values even further, look into de-essers for the audio.

Lovely watch and enjoyed watching the video

Beautiful watch. Wish it came in a 39

Beautiful watch, good choice

Great video. Very nice watch. Thanks for sharing.

really is a nice timepiece! congrats!

Great pick excellent watch

Wish they would make it in the date just size, 36mm. Tried on the 41mm and it looked as if I had strapped on a wall clock.

top notch review...thanks

Very Nice watch, like how flat it is, and the tudor rose on the crown. I have a 2016 heritage chrono blue, it is much thicker. I did not look at this model at the time, because I liked the blue strap with the blue dail very much.

That camo nato rocks!

Really informative review

Fantastic review. I'm in the market for my next piece and this looks like it should be on my list. I have not had the chance to try on the BB, but I fear that even though I love the looks of it, it is going to be much too big for my 6.5" wrist. I'm getting away from dive watches, and am leaning more toward the field watch style. I have a Hamilton Khaki and a Nomos Club and both fit me perfectly. I would also think the BB 36 might be in my wheelhouse as well. Please keep the videos coming.

Very nice selection.

On the Jaquard woven Tudor strap you can shorten or lengthen the strap at the buckle in a very similar Manor to a perlon strap. Hope this helps. Cheers

Nice video. It is a beautiful piece and I've been quite interested in it myself. Very interesting you were attracted to the proportions, as I was a bit put off by them. It simply seemed too large and the dial a bit barren for that size watch. Had it been 38 or 39mm I'd have purchased one. Great value for money, it seems, with high quality finishing. Wear it in good health!

Thank you for the comprehensive review, Armand. I am considering this very model as I can get quite a healthy discount from my AD following its discontinuation. Did you end up keeping the Heritage Ranger; and, if not, would you mind sharing your experience and reasons for parting with it? For a semi-retired teacher this represents a major purchase, but is my grail watch (well, actually, it is the Rolex Explorer I, but that is far beyond my reach). Thanks again for the excellent channel that I still view as my favourite after many years of enjoying your thoughtful comments and insightful observations.

Lovely watch Armand. I know what I am getting next.

Looks like a Hamilton Field Khaki, with similar movement. I couldn't justify spending thousands for this, but glad you are happy Armand. I know the Field Khaki looked like a simple watch, but on the wrist just looked right. Some watches look much different on the wrist than in the box.

Nice watch. Classic.

beautiful watch. great choice. are you pleased with the straps or are you in the market for replacement straps too. It would be great if you can do a video on strap alternatives for this specific watch (22mm quality straps)

Love your channel! I am curious to know if you have a Damasko in your collection yet?

Beautiful field watch, and great strap. Good choice. On the auto-focus, have you tried some photographic backing paper, which is deliberately difficult to focus? I think the material pattern may be causing the camera to seek. Alternatively, turn off auto-focus if possible, and keep the watch at a fixed distance, or move it between cuts. Just suggestions.

I was going to pull the trigger on the 40mm IWC Mark 18, but that case was way too long (lug to lug) and flat as well. The Ranger has better proportions for smaller wrists for sure.

As much as I admire the Heritage Black Bay and the Pelagos this is another great Tudor watch. The brown strap is looks fantastic and I'd like to see it with some nylon straps of other colours than camouflage. Do Tudor make a range of different colours to fit the watch? You're a really thorough and thoughtful reviewer and I enjoyed watching the video.

Congrats on your new Tudor, Armand. I think you just gone away with it's size. I would have bet the 36 mm Black Bay is the perfect size for your wrist.

This watch is a dream

Very nice watch. I must say though, the strap with deployment is probably worth almost as much to replace as a metal strap. Personally i would preserve it too!

Very tasteful choice.

I like it because unless you have a specific reason I don't see why you need to have the date and unless you are really going diving the rotating bezel. So for me it's better than the Black Bay, which I like a lot. The problem is the strap. As a lad all my watches had straps and due to the various acids and oils exuded by the skin would soon get manky and off I'd trot to Woolies to buy a new one for a tanner. These days all my recent watches had a bracelet and they never need to be replaced. In keeping with my overall concept as I have no intention of taking up arms the NATO strap does not float my boat.

Disappointed that it wasn't the black bay with a black bezel, however as the video played out I found myself admiring this watch. Well done, great purchase. Still not sure what to get now and this hasn't helped. Cheers.

Thanks for the review. I really like this watch but haven't pulled the trigger yet due to the ETA vs inhouse debate. When do you think the next version of the Ranger will come out, and what changes do you think they'll make? Will it have an inhouse movement? If it does do you think it will it be worth it?

Really like the Ranger, great size and case design. I don't quite understand why Tudor designed the strap backwards tho ^^ Normally the buckle should go above 12 and the tang below 6 but Tudor designed the clasp to go the other way.

Nobody: Watch chronicler: if you will (I’m fucking around, beautiful watch thank you for the video)

I would snap this up if the metal bracelet had actual end-links. I wonder if the back bay bracelet would fit this?

Armand, six months later are you still loving this watch? Do you find yourself wearing it often?

love the new set up and watch, but I would have bought a Black Bay.

If they made this in 36mm it would sell like hot cakes. Even if it caused them to discontinue the Black Bay 36, it would just make more sense to the overall lineup. Chrono and GMT don’t really make sense being called Black Bay either

So this is Tudor’s version of the Explorer? It’s quite nice, but the case is too large. Resulting in this vast sparse dial where the numerals and indices seem too spread out from each other. There’s a similar problem with Rolex’s 39mm Explorer as well. These kinds of watches still look much nicer when in the 36-38mm range. I hope that part of the new releases from Rolex this coming September include an updated Explorer in a smaller case size with maybe a white/cream dial option in addition to the black.

This piece is exactly what I'm looking for. I have only one quibble. I do not care for camouflage pattern fabric. A more conservative solid color would be much more to my taste.

I am looing at getting a new watch. I am looking at a Tudor Heritage, or a Tudor Pelagos. I also like a Tug Aquaracer Caliber 5. Tag Heur Foramina 1 caliber 7-GMT. or Tag Heuer Calibere 7 twin time . what or you thoughts ?

What did it set you back?

@watchchronicler do you still have the Ranger?

I know it's a vintage watch but I wish it had a date window

I'm so close to really loving this watch. The numbers are wonderful, such a great homage to the old Tudors and even the original Rolex Explorer. I think the hour hand shape is magnificent, gives it real character. I even like the fact that the steel bracelet doesn't have fitted end pieces. Again, makes it kind of old-timey, which I love. And I like the rose Tudor logo. But: 41mm is too big for a field watch. If they had made this a 39, it would be a no-brainer YES. The ETA movement is fine with me, but the price is high for an ETA movement in a simple field watch like this (not even a date). And lastly, the crown is way too big. If a crown is going to protrude that far, it needs crown guards.

Nice watch but the black bay 41 looked so much better on my wrist

Nice vid. You almost sold me. But then I asked myself a question: Is this the best watch I can get for three-thousand bucks?

The watch is nice but it's rather dull to be quite honest. The best thing about this watch is the nato strap. That said, to each his own. Enjoy it in good health.

If the Tudor Ranger had 36mm diameter no date (with accurate time spd), i'd purchase one..

Were you able to remove spring bars with a toothpick or did it require a watch tool?

Nice video.. are you related to Jacob Rees mogg by any chance

If you will ... if you will ... if you will

Dude put it on!

AT 22:00 why isnt the "1" on the 12 marker lumed? Anyone else notice this? Seems like a major flaw for such a pricey piece. Lack of attention to detail it seems like.

Do you actually wear your watches?

I always look at watches with part Arabic numerals and wonder if the manufacturer is trying to save money by not making the dial fully numbered. The clasp seems like a pointless complication and a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. On the plus side it doesn't have the horrible snowflake hands although the minute hand looks very long or the hour hand is too short, I can't decide.

5 minutes watching a box, great video.

Without any further ado....5 minutes later....

They should make a 36mm aldo

I always fast forward to the open box - open the box first and we will still continue watching to the end mate - in fact, more chance of people watching to the end :) now I have missed the first 4 minutes or so.......

Is this meant to be 'inspired by' a particular Rolex model?? Eg North Flag is reminiscent of the Explorer ... What about this one? Looks kinda like a field watch, if anything, to me ... ?

what is the accuracy?

~ 14:20 "Various other"?

Wish this was a 38mm

You should teamed up with Tim Mosso

#bringbackthewordEqually

Do you know someone is ripping off your videos?

I like your videos, you're knowledgeable and have a great view but your videos are unnecessary long.

Truthfully I find nothing special about this one. It reminds me of a snk809 fused with a Hamilton khaki field watch and then was modded a bit and given a brown strap. Doesn't stand out to me.

might be interested in the Black bay blue - can message me on ebay

I own one. Great design. Nice curves. I even gave it a name. I call it "Little Donald". Its ridiculous. Believe me! Everybody should own one, i mean a private "Little Donald"... Its great! What is yours??

Your claim at 15:00-15:06 about grabbing the spring-bar WHILE YOU’RE STABBING IT THROUGH THE DRILLED HOLE - while hand number THREE, of course, holds the case in a firm grip, is JUST PLAIN STUPID, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. I’d like to see you give it a shot, Mr. watchguy.

5:35

Holst!

24:08 CLASSIC

first :D

I can see what you like in this Tudor, but I have to say as you requested feedback that I'm not a fan. I find it boring. Sorry. I do hope that you enjoy it very much.

I find it amusing that there is such attention paid to a camouflage strap, only to fit it with mirror finished hardware. It is undoubtedly an elegant field watch. I'd pay a bit more to have it on a bracelet, have the beautiful and clever leather strap with that deployant, and avoid the overpriced NATO-ish thing crafted from the tears of children molested by clergy. Love that lume too.

super, except you tighten the straps too much, both the fabric and the leather strap. you should show how the protruding CROWN SCREW behaves against the hand when you wear the strap LOOSELY, so loose that the watch slides all the way down to the beginning of the hand. WHY DO YOU NOT AND WHY DID YOU NOT? there is no good answer. what matters is that because of it your video simply DOESN’T DO THE JOB !

Way to big, needs to be under 40mm

Another big watch with a big, ugly side profile. 23.00 Looks like you have an ice hockey puck on your wrist. If you want to see a lovely side profile then look at the Rolex Explorer (1) or Oyster Perpetual. That's how it should be done.
