The Complete Guide to the Tudor 2100 TP: History, Manual, and Technical Insights

Meta Description: Searching for a Tudor 2100 TP manual? This in-depth guide covers operating instructions, winding techniques, date setting, technical specifications, and historical context for the rare Tudor 2100 TP diver.

Service Intervals

• Every 3–5 years: Full service (disassembly, cleaning, oiling, timing)
• Every 12 months: Pressure test (if you swim with it)
• Every winding: Visual inspection of crown gasket

Key Features at a Glance

• Case Size: 38mm (large for its era) – 40mm including crown
• Material: Stainless steel with a polished/brushed finish
• Bezel: Bidirectional 60-minute diver’s bezel (later models often had friction bezels without a ratchet)
• Crown: Screw-down crown (marked with the Tudor rose or Rolex crown, depending on the production year)
• Movement: Manual-wind; typically the Calibre 1182 (based on the FEF 380 or 390, later adapted by ETA)
• Crystal: Acrylic (Plexiglass) with a cyclops magnifier over the date (on some variants)
• Water Resistance: Originally rated to 200 meters (660 feet)

Why it remains undervalued (but rising):

• Perception: Collectors historically prefer “firsts” (7032 manual) or “convenience” (9400 auto). The 2100 is a hybrid.
• The Rotor Slot: The missing automatic rotor is visible through the case back. Uninitiated buyers sometimes think a rotor has fallen off.
• The Awkward Wind: As noted, winding a manual movement in an automatic case is ergonomically poor.
