, The Tudor "Monte Carlo" chronograph is a style icon of the 1970s and one of the house’s most popular models. Rolex introduced the Tudor brand in 1945, intended to deliver high quality watches at reasonable prices. The design of the Oysterdate is very similar to that of the Rolex Daytona, but the cases of the Tudor models are considerably bulkier than those of the Rolex version. The varied and colourful "exotic dials" have made these timepieces very popular with the collectors; the dials came in two variations - they were grey/black or black/grey, with an additional grey/blue variant from 1972 on. Before a new dial was launched in 1972, the Tudor Oysterdate had several nicknames: the "Tudor Porsche" or the "Tudor Home Plate". It was eventually named "Monte Carlo", because the dial was reminiscent of a roulette table.
