The cheapest Tudor watch is the 1926, from about $1,200 pre-owned. Compare 2026 new and pre-owned prices for 10 entry models, ranked lowest to highest.
The cheapest Tudor watch is the 1926, a steel dress watch offered in four sizes that starts at $2,400 new from an authorized retailer and sells for around $1,200 pre-owned. Most of Tudor's other entry models start between about $2,000 and $4,500 on the pre-owned market, and the ranked list below sorts ten of them from lowest to highest price.
Tudor's 2026 releases raised retail prices on several of its core lines, which leaves the previous generations, sold only as pre-owned Tudor watches, as the place where the lowest prices now sit.
The cheapest Tudor watch in 2026 is the Tudor 1926. It starts at $2,400 new for the 28mm steel version and around $1,200 pre-owned, and no other steel Tudor in the current catalog lists lower.
Prices accurate as of November 2026. Pre-owned prices reflect current asking prices across major pre-owned marketplaces, including Bezel.
Each row pairs the lowest current retail price for a new watch in that collection with the lowest current asking price for a complete, good-condition pre-owned example. Where the cheapest pre-owned examples come from an earlier generation, as with the Royal, Black Bay 36, and Black Bay 58, the retail column shows the current version, and two rows sit outside steel: the Black Bay Bronze uses an aluminum-bronze case, and the Pelagos is titanium. Most of these watches measure 36mm to 41mm, the band that suits most men's wrists, and the 1926 and Royal also come in smaller sizes for anyone who prefers a dressier fit.
The 1926 is the cheapest steel Tudor at retail and the cheapest pre-owned, so it sets the price floor for the whole brand. Every other model on the list costs more in both columns, usually by a wide margin, and the next step up pre-owned, the previous-generation Royal, starts around $2,000. You can compare all four sizes, and every dial in stock, in Bezel's Tudor 1926 collection.
A Tudor costs from about $1,200 for a pre-owned 1926 to well over $6,000 for a new chronograph or anything in gold. Most of the steel catalog falls into four price tiers, and where a watch lands depends on whether you buy it new.
Under $2,500, you're looking at the 1926, new in its 28mm size at $2,400 or pre-owned in any size, and the previous-generation Royal, which starts around $2,000 pre-owned. Both are dress-leaning watches with outsourced movements.
Between $2,500 and $3,500 sit the pre-owned Black Bay Bronze, Black Bay 36, and Ranger, along with the new 1926 in its larger sizes and the new Royal in 30mm and 36mm. This is the tier where a Tudor-made movement first becomes available, in a pre-owned Bronze or a new Royal.
From $3,500 to $5,000, new options include the 40mm Royal at $3,675, the Ranger from $3,550, the Black Bay 54 from $4,475, the Black Bay GMT from $4,925, and the 2026 Black Bay 58 from $4,975. If you're shopping this tier across brands, our list of the best watches under $5,000 widens the field. Pre-owned, this is also where you'll find the previous-generation Black Bay 58, the Black Bay GMT, the Black Bay Pro, the Black Bay 54, and the Pelagos.
At $5,000 and up, new watches include the Black Bay Pro, the Black Bay Bronze, the Pelagos, the chronographs, and anything with gold, along with the Black Bay 58 and Black Bay GMT on bracelet. The new Monarch, Tudor's 2026 dress line, sits at the top of the steel catalog, priced above the core Black Bay range.
Each entry below gives the collection's starting price new and pre-owned, what it is, and the one thing that might put you off, sorted from the lowest pre-owned starting price to the highest. Six of the ten are Black Bay models, and Bezel's Tudor Black Bay collection gathers all of them in one place. If you care more about quality than price, our guide to the best Tudor watches ranks the lineup on different terms.
Starting at $2,400 new and $1,200 pre-owned.
Tudor named the 1926 for the year the Tudor name was first registered, and the collection launched in 2018 as the brand's most traditional dress watch. It comes in 28mm, 36mm, 39mm, and 41mm steel cases, each with an embossed dial, a date window, and 100 meters of water resistance. That makes it a sensible first Tudor if you want one watch for the office and the weekend.
The trade-off is inside. The 1926 runs on a basic outsourced automatic with a 38-hour power reserve rather than one of Tudor's manufacture calibers, so it can stop after a long weekend off the wrist.
Starting at $3,250 new (2026 Royal) and $2,000 pre-owned (previous generation).
The Royal returned to Tudor's catalog in 2020 as an integrated-bracelet steel watch with a notched bezel, offered in 28mm, 34mm, 38mm, and 41mm. Tudor relaunched the Tudor Royal in 2026 in 30mm, 36mm, and 40mm, so the earlier versions now sell only pre-owned. They suit you if you like a dressy sport-watch look and want the bracelet to do most of the styling.
Movement is where these Royals fall behind. They used outsourced calibers with about 38 hours of reserve, which is exactly what the 2026 update replaced.
Starting at $5,425 new and $2,700 pre-owned.
Tudor introduced the Black Bay Bronze at Baselworld 2016, and it was the first Black Bay to change case size, growing to 43mm in an aluminum-bronze alloy with a brown dial and Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9. Inside sits the manufacture MT5601, a COSC-certified chronometer with a 70-hour reserve and the least expensive Tudor-made movement here. Tudor swapped the brown dial for slate grey in 2019, and the current Bronze keeps the same 43mm case.
Two drawbacks come with the bronze. The 43mm case wears tall and wide, and the metal darkens into a patina that not every owner wants.
Starting at $4,725 new (now sold as the Black Bay One 36) and $2,900 pre-owned.
The Black Bay 36 arrived in 2016 as a time-only Black Bay, with a smooth steel bezel in place of the rotating dive bezel. Its 36mm case, no-date dial, and 150 meters of water resistance make it one of the easiest Tudors to wear every day. Tudor renamed its smooth-bezel models the Black Bay One in 2025, so the original Black Bay 36 is now a pre-owned buy.
Inside is an outsourced automatic with a 38-hour reserve, the main thing you give up against newer Black Bays.
Starting at $3,550 new and $3,100 pre-owned.
The current Tudor Ranger launched in 2022 to mark 70 years since the British North Greenland Expedition, whose members wore Tudor watches between 1952 and 1954. It launched as a 39mm, fully brushed steel field watch, 12mm thick, with Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 and the COSC-certified manufacture MT5402 with about 70 hours of reserve. A 36mm version has since joined the line and starts at $3,550 on strap, which makes the Ranger the least expensive current Tudor sport watch at retail.
The limits are 100 meters of water resistance and a plain, fully brushed finish that some buyers find too spare.
Starting at $4,975 new (2026 version) and $3,500 pre-owned (previous generation).
Tudor introduced the Black Bay 58 at Baselworld 2018, sizing it at 39mm and naming it for 1958, the year of the "Big Crown" reference 7924, Tudor's first diver rated to 200 meters. The original black-dial version pairs gilt markers with an aluminum bezel and the COSC-certified MT5402, and its proportions are a big part of why the Black Bay took off. In 2026, Tudor moved the black dial to a slimmer, METAS-certified platform at a much higher retail price.
Buying this version means giving up the newer certification and case refinements, and the aluminum insert scratches more easily than ceramic would.
Starting at $4,925 new and $3,500 pre-owned.
The Black Bay GMT debuted at Baselworld 2018 with a blue-and-burgundy aluminum bezel and the manufacture MT5652, a true GMT movement whose local hour hand jumps on its own, so you can change time zones without stopping the watch. It makes a strong first travel watch, with 200 meters of water resistance. Pre-owned examples start about $1,400 below the cheapest new version.
The case is the drawback: 41mm across and about 14.6mm thick. The 39mm Black Bay 58 GMT is the smaller option, at a higher price.
Starting at $5,075 new and $3,600 pre-owned.
Launched in 2022, the Black Bay Pro is a 39mm GMT with a fixed steel bezel engraved with a 24-hour scale and a yellow snowflake hand to read it. It shares the MT5652 with the Black Bay GMT but drops the rotating bezel, so it reads more as an expedition watch than a pilot's watch. Tudor still makes it, which means a recent pre-owned example may carry part of the original guarantee.
There's no dive bezel, and the case wears noticeably thicker than the Black Bay 58.
Starting at $4,475 new and $3,800 pre-owned.
The Black Bay 54 arrived in 2023 as the most faithful modern take on reference 7922, Tudor's first dive watch, from 1954. At 37mm, with the COSC-certified MT5400 inside, it's the most vintage-proportioned diver Tudor makes and a natural pick for a smaller wrist.
Its retail price has risen noticeably since launch, which leaves a narrower gap to pre-owned prices than on the Black Bay GMT or Black Bay Pro. The bezel also has no minute graduations, so precise timing takes more guesswork.
Starting at $5,625 new and $4,500 pre-owned (39mm and 42mm models).
The Tudor Pelagos is the brand's professional diver and the only titanium watch here. The 42mm version is rated to 500 meters, carries a helium escape valve, and runs on the manufacture MT5612. A 39mm Pelagos followed in 2022 with the MT5400 and 200 meters of water resistance, and it currently asks more pre-owned than the larger watch.
Titanium keeps the weight down, but it marks more easily than steel, so light scratches show sooner.
When Tudor replaces a model, new production moves to the updated version at a higher retail price, and the previous version can only be bought pre-owned. From then on, its price comes from what sellers ask today, and in 2026 that sits well below the new watch that replaced it. It's why the cheapest way into several of Tudor's most popular lines is now a watch Tudor no longer makes.
The Royal shows it most clearly. Tudor relaunched it in 2026 in 30mm, 36mm, and 40mm with manufacture calibers, priced from $3,250 to $3,675 in steel, while the outgoing Royals start around $2,000 pre-owned. Tudor's 2026 releases also moved the black Black Bay 58 to a slimmer, METAS-certified platform at $4,975 to $5,350, and the previous version starts around $3,500 pre-owned.
The Black Bay 36 took the same path a year earlier, when Tudor renamed its smooth-bezel models the Black Bay One. The current 36mm lists at $4,725, against about $2,900 for the original pre-owned. Tudor also updated its retail list prices in January 2026.
If you want the look of a Black Bay 58 or Royal at the lowest price, buy the previous generation. On the Black Bay 58, the differences are mostly in finishing and movement certification. On the Royal, you're also trading the new manufacture caliber for an outsourced one.
Pre-owned is cheaper on every model in this guide, though the savings vary widely by collection. The 1926 starts at $2,400 new and around $1,200 pre-owned, and the Black Bay Pro starts at $5,075 new against about $3,600 pre-owned. On the Ranger, the gap narrows to a few hundred dollars.
On many of the sport models, the difference between new and pre-owned is often enough to move up a model on this list for the same budget. A budget of about $3,600, close to the starting price of a new Ranger, covers a pre-owned Black Bay 58 or Black Bay GMT at their starting prices.
You keep the same watch and movement, and what you mostly give up is warranty time. Tudor's five-year guarantee runs from the original purchase date, so a recent pre-owned watch may still have part of it left, and the date on the warranty card tells you how much. Our guide to buying a Tudor watch covers the rest of the paperwork.
Supply isn't a problem either. Tudor took 14% of orders on Bezel in the first half of 2026, second only to Rolex, according to the H1 2026 Bezel Report. Most references on this list have several pre-owned examples to compare at any given time.
Yes, mostly in older and discontinued lines: the Tudor Prince, Style, Glamour, and Classic families, some of them quartz. Most are older dress watches, many in smaller cases than today's Tudors. Prices vary widely by reference and condition, and some Style models list for under $1,000.
The trade-offs are real. Many of these watches use outsourced automatic or quartz movements, and an older watch can need a service soon after you buy it, which adds to what it costs you in the end. Parts for some older references are also harder to source, so a full service history is worth more here than anywhere else on the Tudor price ladder.
For most people at this budget, the 1926 is the better buy. It's the cheapest current-production Tudor, it starts around $1,200 pre-owned, and a recent example can still carry part of Tudor's five-year guarantee. You can shop Tudor watches on Bezel and sort by price to see what's available below $1,500.
Low prices attract fakes. Tudor accounted for 6% of the watches Bezel rejected in authentication in the first half of 2026, and four checks before you buy remove most of that risk.
Old and new versions of the same model look nearly identical in photos, so the reference number is what tells them apart. Check the reference number against Tudor's current lineup before you buy, so you know whether you're paying for the previous or current generation.
The warranty card shows the purchase date, which tells you how much of Tudor's five-year guarantee is left. Papers that match the serial number also back up the listing, and a watch sold without them should cost less, so ask why they're missing.
Ask when the watch was last serviced and by whom, and ask for the receipt if there is one. This matters most on older models in the under-$1,500 group, where a service soon after purchase can add a real share to the total cost of the watch.
A marketplace that inspects every watch in-house removes most of the risk, because the check happens before the sale closes rather than after the watch arrives at your door. Bezel's in-house authentication process inspects each watch in hand, papers included, before it ships.
The 1926 is the cheapest Tudor for men, starting at $2,400 new and around $1,200 pre-owned, and its 39mm and 41mm sizes suit most men's wrists. For a sport watch, the Ranger is the next step up, starting around $3,100 pre-owned with a Tudor-made movement.
Yes, by a wide margin at every level of the catalog. Most of Tudor's steel sport watches retail between about $3,550 and $6,000 new, well below Rolex's steel sport models. Our comparison of Tudor vs. Rolex breaks down some of the key differences between the two brands.
Not directly. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, registered the Tudor name in 1926, and the two remain sister brands. Today Tudor builds its own manufacture movements, including the MT5400 and MT5402 used in watches on this list, at its manufacture in Le Locle, Switzerland.
Yes. Tudor is a Swiss watchmaker positioned as an attainable luxury brand, with chronometer-certified manufacture movements across most of its sport line and a five-year guarantee on every new watch. Pricing below Rolex has been part of its role from the start.
Yes. New Tudors are sold through Tudor's network of authorized retailers, some of which sell online through their own sites. Pre-owned Tudors are available on Bezel, where every watch is authenticated in-house by our team before it ships to you.
The 1926 is the cheapest Tudor, new or pre-owned. Pre-owned prices come in below retail on every model in this guide, and the previous generations of the Royal, Black Bay 58, and Black Bay 36 are where the lowest prices on Tudor's most popular lines now sit. You can shop pre-owned Tudor watches on Bezel or in the Bezel app, with every watch authenticated in-house by Bezel's team before it ships.
