The Tudor ‘ Home Plate ’ is very likely one of the most sought after Tudor chronographs on the market , and inspired the aesthetic of the contemporary Heritage Chronograph .
First produced in 1971 , reference 7032 / 0 was made for drivers during racing . The name ‘ Home Plate ’ is derived from the tritium hour markers that surround the dial . This early model was produced for a few years only , which makes the reference incredibly rare . This is a fantastic example with original pushers and an attractive dial . The luminous has aged over time to an attractive warm orange colour and the hands have aged to an ivory colour .
