"Vice President" — The Tudor Alternative to the Rolex President
The "Reference 76213" is fondly nicknamed the “Vice President”, owing to its striking resemblance to the Rolex Day-Date and its elevated aesthetic.
The Rolex Day-Date, with its fluted gold bezel, full day display at 12 o’clock, and date at 3 o’clock, has long been a symbol of power and prestige—famously worn by U.S. presidents, CEOs, and global dignitaries. It's earned the name "The President" both for its bracelet and its wearer base.
Tudor, Rolex’s sibling brand, offers the 76213 as a more accessible, understated take on this concept. While it lacks the presidential bracelet, the design cues are unmistakably regal:
-
Fluted yellow gold bezel
-
36mm Oyster-style case
-
Day and date complications
-
Two-tone steel and gold construction
-
Roman numeral or champagne dials — classic and elegant
It’s not just a budget version—it’s a refined alternative with its own identity, powered by the reliable ETA 2834‑2 movement and dressed in Tudor’s classic Prince styling.
