Welcome to the inaugural Old vs. New, a column in which we take a look at an iconic vintage watch and the revamped 21st-century tribute. To kick things off, we’ll compare the Tudor Reference 7031 Homeplate chronograph and the Heritage Chrono, two nearly identical watches separated by almost 40 years. Tudor obviously decided very little needed changing when they brought back the recognizable design, but a closer inspection reveals some crucial modifications. After spending time with both, it’s easy to understand what makes each special in its own right.
