Tudor Royal Royal Day-Date 36 Stainless Steel - Yellow Gold / Champagne Roman

The Tudor Royal M2836C1A3-0002 debuted in 2026 as a 36mm date model within the updated Royal collection, combining a stainless steel and yellow gold case with a champagne-colour dial and integrated two-tone bracelet. Within the current 36mm range, this reference retains the more classical Roman numeral dial layout, pairing it with a warmer dial tone and bi-metal construction that give it a more traditionally dressed character than the baton-marker variants introduced elsewhere in the same generation. Its case measures 36mm in diameter and 9.7mm in height, with polished and satin-brushed surfaces across the steel case body and yellow gold elements. The bezel is fixed and executed in solid yellow gold, establishing the two-tone composition at the case level and giving the watch a more overtly formal visual profile within the Royal family. The screw-down winding crown is steel capped with 0.1mm of yellow gold and bears the Tudor shield in relief. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres, and the dial is protected by a sapphire crystal. The dial is executed in a champagne colour and fitted with applied Roman numerals, together with a date aperture at 3 o’clock. In the 36mm Royal, the absence of the day display used on the 40mm models gives the watch a more compact and restrained layout, while the Roman numerals reinforce the more traditional side of the collection’s design language. Combined with the warmer dial tone and yellow gold bezel, this produces a configuration that leans more clearly toward the formal end of the Royal spectrum. Inside is the Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5412, a self-winding mechanical movement with bidirectional rotor system, 28 jewels, and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. It is regulated to a tolerance of -2/+4 seconds per day on the fully assembled watch and incorporates a variable inertia balance, a non-magnetic silicon hairspring, and a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. The bracelet is the Royal’s integrated five-link design in stainless steel and yellow gold, with centre links constructed around a steel core capped with 0.2mm of yellow gold. It is fitted with a T-fit folding clasp with safety catch in steel, finished with a logo in solid yellow gold. In this 36mm champagne-dial configuration, the uninterrupted transition from case to bracelet remains central to the watch’s identity, while the Roman numeral display and two-tone construction place the emphasis on continuity, warmth, and a more classical reading of the Royal design.
