On Wednesday, an air of eager anticipation was apparent at an exclusive gathering at The Murray, Hong Kong. The excitement proved well-founded when – under a barrage of camera flashes – legendary footballer David Beckham entered the room. The occasion not only marked his Asian debut as the TUDOR #BornToDare brand ambassador, but also the global launch of the stunning new Glamour Double Date timepiece.

Spiffily suited up and proudly sporting the all-new TUDOR watch, Beckham shared some personal insights into his love for Hong Kong, the roots of his haute horological passion, as well as admiration for the renowned Swiss watchmaker with the VIP guests in attendance. He also regaled the audience with tales of his own #BornToDare spirit, including anecdotes on his motorbiking adventures.

As part of the TUDOR Glamour line, the new Glamour Double Date worn by Beckham exemplifies the high-end marque’s heightened sense of style and elegance, as well as its dedication to preserving the art of fine watchmaking. Taking the collection to new heights, it boasts a specially-developed Manufacture Calibre MT5641 movement – visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback – as well as the iconic large Double Date indicator at 12 o’clock.

Robust, waterproof and built for precision, the Glamour Double Date doesn’t skimp on the more aesthetic elements either. A bold double bezel design sharply focuses any attention directly to its chic, multi-textured fascia. Enhancing its appeal further still are the diamond-studded hour markers and the small seconds dial at 6 o’clock. Available in silver, black, champagne or opaline white, this TUDOR watch is sure to appeal to any consummate gentleman with a #BornToDare spirit.
