The Tudor Monte Carlo debuted in 1971 as part of the brand’s “Homeplate” chronograph series. Officially known as the Tudor Oysterdate Chronograph, its bold dial design—with colourful sub-dials and roulette-style minute tracks—quickly earned the “Monte Carlo” nickname. Powered by manual Valjoux movements and housed in robust Oyster cases, these watches echoed Rolex DNA but with Tudor’s daring flair. Today, Monte Carlo chronographs are highly sought after for their rarity, vibrant aesthetics, and motorsport-inspired legacy.
