Historical Background

The AS 1187 family was produced by A. Schild SA, one of the most important Swiss movement manufacturers of the twentieth century. During the mid-century period, Tudor utilised a variety of high-quality Swiss ébauches, including movements supplied by A. Schild, before later transitioning towards other movement suppliers. These robust manual-wind calibres were designed for reliability and ease of servicing, making them well regarded among vintage watch restorers today.

Collector’s Note

Complete vintage Tudor movement sets with matching dial, hands and retaining components are increasingly difficult to source. This example offers a useful foundation for restoration, donor use or the preservation of a period Tudor watch.
