由于与爱表表友的一个小小讨论,刨根究底的我今天致电了Rolex的总部想问问Tudor的闹铃模组除了自行研发外是否为自行生产。电话被转到顾客服务部门,然后接线小姐告知我能回答问题的技师在开会,让我晚点再打或者e-mail到他们的一个Rolex后缀的电子邮箱。我按着地址e-mail后,约2小时后收到了回复。
主要是问关于Tudor的闹铃模组是否自行生产及其组装流程的,我顺便问了点关于Black Bay所采用的钢材的问题。
Dear Mr XXXXXX,
Thank you for your choice of watches, it is always good to hear positive feedback from our customers.
In response to your questions:
The Tudor Black Bay 79220R is made using high quality steel 316L. There can be a variation between different Tudor models; Rolex models only use the 904L steel.
Tudor Black Bay采用高素质的316L钢材。不同的Tudor表款可能采用的钢材种类不尽相同;Rolex(这里指现在的Rolex)则只采用904L钢材。
This also applies to the bracelet and buckle to the Tudor Black Bay model, they also use high quality steel 316L.
Tudor Black Bay的表链、表扣(包括皮带的折叠扣,我在咨询时特意问到)均采用高素质的316L钢材。
The interior of the crystal is treated with several coats of anti-reflection, none on the exterior (if used on the outer surface it could be scratched).
Tudor Black Bay的表镜内侧做了数层防眩镀膜,外侧由于避免刮伤镀膜的缘故没有做。
The Tudor Heritage Advisor uses ETA calibre 2892-A2 enabling feet for the module, this module has been developed together with Tudor engineers however we are unable to go into details about the process flow.
Tudor闹铃采用ETA 2892-A2+闹铃模组,该模组由Tudor的技师们联合研发。我们无法给出更详细的加工流程。
We wish you many years of enjoyment with your watches and thank you again for your loyalty to our brand.
With best regards,
CECILE NICOLE

由此可见,Tudor的表可能部分采用316L钢材,部分采用非316L钢材。至少Black Bay是316L。
至于先前和爱表表友讨论的关于Tudor闹铃的模组是否为自行生产这个疑问则不得而知了,这里Rolex只指出该模组由Tudor的技师们联合研发,无法给出更详细的生产加工流程。
2011年Basel期间“Rolex先生”James Dowling与Tudor CEO Peverelli先生见面后提供过关于Tudor闹铃模组的信息:
“The heritage uses a 2892 movement with an additional module to provide the alarm function, the 2892 is delivered to the module supplier who assembles the two parts, and delivers the final movement complete to Rolex where it is assembled and cased on the normal Rolex production lines.”
闹铃模组是Tudor设计研发的(现在的Tudor官网有标出,Rolex这次的回信也印证了这一点),Tudor将2892送到模组供应商处加装闹铃模组,再将机芯送回。最终的总装在Tudor/Rolex生产线。
以上仅供信息参考,无法提供更多的官方佐证。
