Tudor 1182

The Tudor 1182 represents a specific mechanical movement developed by the Swiss watchmaker Tudor. This caliber is characterized by its fundamental design as a manual-winding mechanism, requiring direct interaction from the wearer to power its operation. It embodies a set of precise technical specifications that define its performance characteristics and suitability for various timepieces. As a manual-winding movement, the Tudor 1182 necessitates daily winding by hand to store energy within its mainspring. This traditional method of power delivery connects the wearer directly to the watch's function, fostering a tactile engagement with the timepiece. Within its intricate construction, the movement incorporates 17 jewels. These synthetic rubies serve as low-friction bearings at critical pivot points, reducing wear on metal components and contributing to the movement's longevity and consistent performance over time. The oscillating heart of the 1182 beats at a frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour (vph), which translates to 2.75 Hertz (Hz). This rate of oscillation influences the stability of the movement's timekeeping and, in watches equipped with a seconds hand, contributes to its visual sweep. The Tudor 1182 offers a power reserve of 48 hours. This means that once fully wound, the movement can operate continuously for two full days before requiring another winding. This duration provides practical convenience for the wearer, allowing the watch to be set aside for a day without stopping. In terms of physical dimensions, the caliber measures 12.41 mm in diameter. This compact size positions it as a relatively small movement, suitable for watches where a more modest case diameter is desired, contributing to a discreet wrist presence. Its slender profile is further emphasized by a height of 3.25 mm, indicating a thin construction that can contribute to a watch with a reduced overall thickness, enhancing comfort and wearability. Finally, the movement features a lift angle of 57°. This specific angle is a technical parameter crucial for watchmakers, as it is used when regulating the movement on a timegrapher to accurately measure its amplitude and ensure precise adjustments for optimal timekeeping. Collectively, the specifications of the Tudor 1182 define a movement designed for reliability and wearability. Its manual-winding nature offers a classic horological experience, while the 17 jewels contribute to its operational efficiency and durability. The 48-hour power reserve provides a practical buffer for daily use, and its compact diameter and slim height make it an appropriate choice for watches intended to be discreet or to possess a refined, understated presence on the wrist. The frequency and lift angle are fundamental to its timekeeping capabilities and ease of servicing, ensuring that the movement can maintain its performance over time. This combination of attributes positions the Tudor 1182 as a functional and well-proportioned caliber within Tudor's offerings.
