Tudor Heritage Chrono 42mm Monte Carlo 70330N 2012 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Tudor Heritage Chrono reference 70330N is a bold, retro-inspired chronograph that pays tribute to one of Tudor’s most iconic designs from the 1970s—the original "Monte Carlo." Introduced in 2010, this timepiece is not a direct replica but a thoughtful modern reinterpretation, blending vintage charm with contemporary proportions and mechanics. The result is a distinctive and sporty chronograph that stands out in both form and function.

Housed in a robust 42mm stainless steel case, the Heritage Chrono 70330N features a unique bi-directional rotating bezel with a 12-hour scale, a rare and highly functional feature on a chronograph that allows for the tracking of a second time zone. The case design includes beveled lugs and a mix of polished and satin-brushed finishing. The black dial, accented with striking grey and orange highlights, is both legible and full of character, with two sub-dials for the small seconds and a 45-minute totalizer.

At the heart of the watch is the reliable Tudor Calibre T401, an automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve. The movement is protected by a solid steel caseback, giving the watch a tool-like durability that aligns with Tudor’s utilitarian heritage. The chronograph pushers are screw-down, ensuring a robust 150-meter water resistance, further emphasizing the model’s sport-oriented ethos.

A key aspect of the Heritage Chrono’s appeal is its versatility. It was originally offered with both a classic stainless steel bracelet and a fabric NATO-style strap—a nod to Tudor’s attention to detail and a valuable bonus for collectors. Whether worn on the bracelet or strap, the 70330N carries the soul of a vintage icon with the performance of a modern tool watch. Today, it remains one of the most charismatic chronographs in Tudor’s lineup—a compelling piece for those drawn to bold design, historical significance, and functional reliability.
