Released for only a short two years, the Reference 7032/0 Montecarlo ‘Homeplate’ is certainly one of the most collectable, and easily identifiable, Tudor chronographs of all time. Nicknamed the ‘Homeplate’ due to the pentagon shaped luminous plots along the outer perimeter of the dial, the reference 7032/0 Montecarlo was the first chronograph wristwatch produced by the brand. Adorned by a steel bezel with tachymeter scale allowing for easy view when activating the chronograph, the watch is powered by a Valjoux caliber 7734 mechanical movement. Another signature design is the cyclops date at the 6 o’clock mark, rather than the 3 o’clock mark of its Rolex brethren. The Tudor 7032 paved the way for a long, and continuing, line of Tudor chronographs.
