Lunar Rising: TUDOR’s First Moonphase Shines With The 1926 Luna
3 min read
Just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon shines at its fullest, TUDOR unveils a poetic first for the brand a watch with a moon phase complication, brought to life with a touch of creative magic from global ambassador Jay Chou.
In Eastern tradition, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates family, unity and togetherness under the glowing moon. It is the perfect occasion for TUDOR to introduce the 1926 Luna, where heritage meets artistry. Jay Chou, a true multi-talent within the TUDOR family, worked closely with the brand’s designers to add his vision to the refined 1926 collection. The result is a timepiece as luminous as the festival’s full moon, balancing sophistication with subtle drama.
The watch debuts in a polished 39mm steel case across three dials classic black, deep blue, and Jay’s own champagne hue. At 6 o’clock, the moon phase indicator becomes the focal point: each dial features a unique interpretation, but the champagne version is particularly evocative. Here, a phantom gold moon hides and reveals itself behind an inky cutout, echoing the waxing and waning lunar cycle.
Named after the year “The Tudor” was first registered by Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex, the 1926 collection embodies the brand’s core philosophy: timeless beauty, uncompromising quality and enduring value. With the Luna, this legacy gains a celestial new chapter.

The 1926 Luna is more than a timepiece it’s a meeting of tradition, mythology and innovation. The moon, after all, has fascinated humanity for millennia. In Roman lore, the goddess Luna embodied its beauty and mystery, while in modern horology, the moon phase remains one of the most poetic complications. It doesn’t just measure time in hours and minutes, but in celestial rhythms, reminding us that every night sky tells its own story.
TUDOR’s philosophy, Born to Dare, runs through every detail of the 1926 Luna. From its robust steel construction and 100-metre water resistance, to the finely decorated movement adjusted to the highest chronometric standards, the watch reflects the vision of Hans Wilsdorf: creating timepieces that unite precision, durability and accessibility.
