The Legacy:

The Tudor Homeplate is for me one of the most iconic watches of the 70th. And you can feel it in all its design and colours. Like the Newman dials it had a lot of details. The orange is a very dominant colour in the design. As is the grey. The combination with the black subdials gives it a lot of depth. Iconic is the shape of the indexes. The refer to the baseball homeplates. That's how it got his name. But it's also called Porsche-dial. The references where 7031 and 7032. One with steel and one with bakelite bezel. For the new one the bakelite bezel was the reference. There was also a black dial version. Like the new one now. It is ultra rare and supposed to be a first series made for Asia market first. As far as I was told. 2 collector friends own such a watch. They are truly magical.
