Tudor 2411

The Tudor 2411 represents a mechanical movement developed by Tudor, designed to power timepieces through a traditional, direct interaction with the wearer. As a manual-winding caliber, it requires the user to regularly wind the crown to maintain its operational state, fostering a direct engagement with the watch's mechanism. Central to its mechanical architecture are its 17 jewels, strategically placed at points of high friction within the gear train. These synthetic rubies serve to minimize wear on metal components, contributing to the movement's longevity and helping to maintain consistent performance over time. The oscillation rate of the balance wheel is set at 18,000 vibrations per hour (vph), which translates to a frequency of 2.5 Hertz. This beat rate dictates the incremental steps of the seconds hand, which advances five times per second, presenting a continuous yet discernible sweep across the dial. This frequency is a characteristic element of many mechanical movements, influencing both the visual flow of time and the rate at which the escapement operates. Further defining its operational parameters is a power reserve of 40 hours. This specification indicates that once fully wound, the Tudor 2411 can continue to function for approximately one day and 16 hours before requiring another winding. For a wearer, this means that if the watch is wound daily, it will consistently keep time. However, if left unworn and unwound for more than 40 hours, the movement will cease operation, necessitating re-winding and time setting. The movement's diameter measures 31.3 mm, a dimension that influences the size and design of the watch case it inhabits. This measurement ensures that the movement can be accommodated within a range of watch designs, providing the necessary space for its components. In practical terms, the Tudor 2411 offers a straightforward mechanical experience. Its manual winding type connects the wearer directly to the timepiece, while the 17 jewels contribute to its functional lifespan. The 18,000 vph frequency provides a clear visual indication of time progression, and the 40-hour power reserve offers a functional duration suitable for daily wear with regular interaction. The 31.3 mm diameter ensures its integration into appropriately sized watch cases, making it a foundational element for time-only mechanical watches.
