In its modern form, the Ranger continues that idea with a brushed 39mm steel case, clean black dial, and Tudor’s in-house MT5402 movement, keeping the spirit of the historic model intact while bringing the technical package fully into the current era. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2800\" data-end=\"3163\"\u003eThat heritage matters because the Ranger fills a different role than many other modern Tudor references.
