Tudor's North Flag returns in 2026 with a GMT function and a METAS-certified automatic movement. The original, unveiled at Baselworld in 2015, housed Tudor's first internally developed and produced calibre, the MT5621, and drew design inspiration from the 1970s Ranger II.
Why it matters · interpretationThe return revives a model closely associated with Tudor's move into in-house movements, now pairing that heritage with GMT functionality and METAS certification.
