Rolex-signed crown, caseback, and sometimes bracelet
The Tudor 74000 elegantly bridges Tudor and Rolex heritage—Rolex-signed crown, caseback, and sometimes bracelet, combined with Tudor bracelet/complements and movement. The myriad of variants across years (1970s–1990s) adds to both its charm and collectible appeal.

Watch history & technical details
The 74000 emerged during a transition era when Tudor was moving away from using Rolex-branded components in later models. Early 74000s typically retain the Rolex crown, case, and sometimes bracelet, while maintaining a Tudor movement (e.g., ETA 2824-2).
