Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Tudor buckle and a modern buckle?
The Tudor buckle has a classic rectangular profile with rounded edges, while modern buckles often feature more angular or integrated shapes. The Tudor buckle is sturdier and represents a certified historical design.
Can I replace a Tudor buckle with a different one?
Technically yes, but you would lose authenticity. On vintage watches it is not advisable; for modern straps, I always recommend keeping the original finishes.
How do I tell an original Tudor buckle from a counterfeit one?
Check the precision of the engravings, the weight of the metal, the quality of the finish and the realistic wear. Counterfeits often show imperfections in the details and edges.
