TUDOR has brought the Northflag back for its 2026 collection. The return adds a GMT function and Master Chronometer certification to a watch with a distinct identity in the brand's catalogue. TUDOR's official 2026 press room lists the model, but the material reviewed here does not state a precise announcement date. This article was prepared on October 3, 2026.
What is new?
The new Northflag has a 40 mm 316L stainless-steel case, a black dial, a fixed steel bezel and an integrated two-link steel bracelet. Its angled 24-hour rehaut works with the yellow 24-hour hand to display a second time zone. A date sits at 3 o'clock. The bracelet uses TUDOR's T-fit clasp for tool-free fine adjustment.
Inside is the manufacture calibre MT5652-U. TUDOR states that it is COSC and METAS certified and offers a 65-hour power reserve. The brand also specifies a silicon balance spring. Those are useful technical details for a traveller or a daily wearer; they are not a substitute for trying the case and bracelet on the wrist.
Why the Northflag has a story
TUDOR connects the second-generation Northflag to the design language of the 1973 Ranger II and to its historical association with the British North Greenland Expedition. The prominent 24-hour indication has a practical theme: in regions with very long periods of daylight or darkness, a 24-hour reference can help distinguish daytime from nighttime. On an ordinary trip, the GMT display is more likely to help keep track of home time.
Leo Gallery's Take
The Northflag is an interesting choice for someone who wants a TUDOR beyond the familiar Black Bay and Pelagos silhouettes. Its integrated bracelet and bright 24-hour hand give it a recognisable look, while the GMT function has a clear daily use. For a Canadian buyer comparing it with another TUDOR GMT, the questions are fit, legibility and which case and bracelet you would actually wear. The official specifications alone cannot answer those questions.
We would also separate the launch story from a buying decision. A new release does not establish future resale value, local stock or a Canadian transaction price. Those require dated, comparable market evidence. If you are exploring other TUDOR models, see the TUDOR collection at Leo Gallery; its availability changes independently of this editorial article.
