Tudor Royal Day-Date 30 Stainless Steel / Light Blue Roman Ref. M2830A1A0-0004

The Tudor Royal M2830A1A0-0004 debuted in 2026 as a 30mm stainless steel model within the updated Royal collection, combining a light blue dial with applied Roman numerals. In this size, the time-only display keeps the dial notably open, while the lighter colour gives the watch a softer and more luminous character than the darker blue or burgundy versions. Its stainless steel case measures 30mm in diameter and 8.7mm in height, with alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces. The revised notched bezel introduced for this generation gives the watch a sharper external profile, while the screw-down crown, sapphire crystal, and 100-metre water resistance preserve the Royal’s underlying sport-oriented construction. As with the rest of the updated line, the bracelet end links were also reworked so they no longer touch the case directly. The dial is executed in light blue and fitted with applied Roman numerals, with no calendar indications. That leaves the surface more open than on the date-equipped 36mm and 40mm versions, allowing the colour and marker layout to define the watch more directly. Here, the Roman numerals give the display a more classical tone than the baton-marker alternatives, while the pale blue dial keeps the overall effect lighter and less formal. Inside is the Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5201, a self-winding mechanical movement with 26 jewels, bidirectional winding, and a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. It is regulated to -3/+5 seconds per day on the fully assembled watch and features a variable inertia balance, a non-magnetic silicon hairspring, and a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. The integrated five-link stainless steel bracelet combines satin-brushed external and central links with polished intermediate links and closes with a folding clasp and safety catch.
