Tudor Unveils Updated Royal Collection in Three Sizes

In 2026, Tudor refreshed its extensive Royal lineup, adding new sizes, updating dial designs, and equipping them with in-house movements.

The most anticipated and significant step was the update of the calibers. However, aesthetic changes also deserve attention, giving some models a retro vibe. Let's take a closer look at the updated Tudor Royal collection.

New Tudor Royal Models at Watches and Wonders 2026

At this year's Watches and Wonders, Tudor presented the new Monarch model and a series of updated Royals. These names bring a smile, but the updates to the Royal collection are a serious step forward. The lineup now features models in three sizes: 30 mm, 36 mm, and 40 mm, made entirely of stainless steel or in a combination of steel and yellow gold. The design of the dials helps differentiate the sizes: 40 mm models have a date window at the 3 o'clock position and a day indicator at 12 o'clock, 36 mm versions are equipped only with a date at 3 o'clock, and 30 mm models have no additional indicators. As with the previous lineup, Tudor offers a wide range of color options and dial designs, which have been retained in the updated 2026 collection.

Key Features of the New Tudor Royal Models

Let's look at the details point by point. The three sizes offer plenty of options suitable for both men and women. The smallest models have a case diameter of 30 mm, a lug-to-lug length of 35.8 mm, and a thickness of 8.7 mm. The medium size is 36 × 42.2 × 9.7 mm, and the large models are 40 × 47 × 11.4 mm.

All watches are water-resistant to 100 meters and feature a screw-down crown mechanism. Additionally, Tudor designers have redesigned the lugs and links of the integrated bracelet to avoid unwanted contact and enhance wearing comfort.

The dials come in a variety of colors: black, blue, silver, green, salmon, red, and mother-of-pearl. Various design options are also available, including classic ones with applied Roman numerals.

Particular attention is drawn to the 'new' dial design with applied stick markers and a pronounced retro style. It connects the updated Royal collection with the brand's classics, such as the Oyster Prince Day-Date and Prince Oysterdate. This style pairs perfectly with the Royal's design and the characteristic fluted bezel. The look is completed by luminescent hour and minute hands with rounded tips and a fine second hand.

In-House Tudor Calibers in All Sizes

Inside the cases, regardless of size, are updated in-house Tudor movements. The 30 mm models are equipped with the MT5201 caliber, the 36 mm versions with the MT5412, and the 40 mm with the MT5633. All three movements are produced by Kenissi, equipped with automatic winding, an anti-magnetic silicon balance spring, and a two-point supported balance bridge, enhancing shock resistance.

The frequency of all calibers is 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The MT5412 and MT5633 calibers offer a power reserve of up to 70 hours, while the smaller MT5201 offers up to 50 hours. All movements are COSC-certified as chronometers, but the accuracy of regulation slightly differs: MT5633 and MT5412 have an allowable deviation of -2/+4 seconds per day, while MT5201 is -3/+5 seconds per day.

Conclusion and Expert Opinion on the Tudor Royal 2026 Collection

The Tudor Royal line often remains overshadowed by more popular models like the Black Bay and Pelagos, including my personal preference. However, the updates in the Royal series deserve attention. The simplified dial design with sticks seems particularly successful, appearing modern and elegant. Along with new sizes and in-house calibers, Tudor Royal gains freshness and relevance. Personally, I look forward to trying on the 36 mm steel model with the new dial design - I didn't anticipate this before, and it's high praise for Tudor.
