Dubai Watch Week 2025 has once again positioned itself as one of the most influential gatherings in the global horology calendar.

Dubai Watch Week 2025 has once again positioned itself as one of the most influential gatherings in the global horology calendar. Known for its unique blend of education, innovation, and cultural exchange, the event attracts collectors, enthusiasts, and industry leaders from around the world. This year, the spotlight shines on brands that embody heritage and technical mastery—among them, Rolex and its sister brand, Tudor, which continues to push boundaries while staying true to its adventurous spirit.

The Ranger Legacy: From Ice Caps to Desert Dunes

The Ranger name dates back to 1929, when Hans Wilsdorf registered it as a symbol of exploration. Its modern identity emerged in the 1960s, defined by large Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock and robust tool-watch aesthetics. Historically, Ranger watches accompanied daring expeditions, from the British North Greenland Expedition in the 1950s to today’s Dakar Rally across Saudi Arabia’s Empty Quarter. This heritage of reliability under extreme conditions remains at the heart of the new models.
What’s New in 2025?

Tudor introduces two major updates to the Ranger family:

  • New Case Size: A 36mm option joins the classic 39mm, offering versatility for different wrist profiles while maintaining the Ranger’s rugged character.
  • “Dune White” Dial: Inspired by the vast sandscapes of the Dakar Rally, this matt finish complements the existing black dial and adds a fresh, expedition-ready aesthetic.

Both sizes feature a satin-brushed 316L steel case with a fixed bezel, domed sapphire crystal, and waterproofness up to 100 meters. The overall design stays true to the Ranger’s utilitarian spirit—simple, robust, and adaptable.
