From its inception, the Tudor Prince has been shrouded in a mantle of sheer uncompromising toughness. Early ad campaigns stressed the watch’s resilience, and its participation in the British North Greenland Expedition brought awareness of the brand to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tudor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28402275778647,"sku":null,"price":3950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/y8VIswhg.jpeg?v=1562360688","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/tudor-prince-oysterdate-34-as03212","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
