41mm er rett under min 42mm minimal favorit størrelse.
At kassen er litt tjukk (14.4mm) skyldes MT5813 urverket som er basert på B01 fra Breitling.
MEN hvis du leser forklaringen, blir du overbevist om at Tudor sin forbedret versjon av B01 kan bare bli bra.
B01 har faktisk fordeler man kan nytte som langtids investering:
"Breitling introduced their calibre 01 (commonly called Cal. B01) in April 2009 in the Chronomat.
It is a modern automatic chronograph movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch.
It operates at 28,800 A/h, boasts a power reserve of 70 hours, and is a COSC-certified chronometer.
The movement shares many characteristics with the Rolex Cal. 4130, and it has been reported that many of the same engineers worked on both movements.
Cal. B01 measures 30 mm diameter and 7.2 mm thick. This thickness is due to the movement’s modular design.
This allows the chronograph components to be easily separated from the base for maintenance or replacement.
Although nicely decorated, it is mechanically produced, reducing cost.
One notable technical advance, self-centering chronograph hammers, is also useful in reducing the skill required during production."

Og det kan jeg godt leve med: det betyr billigere service og erstatning av delene hvis nødvendig
