The Lady Gaga of Chronographs

Unless you were living in a cave for the past month you know one of the most popular "new" watches presented at Basel this year was the Tudor Heritage Chronograph.  It's as flashy and just about as popular as Lady Gaga the singer...maybe.

The Heritage chronograph is basically a revamped version of the 1970s Tudor chronograph collector's have dubbed the "Homeplate" due to the shape of the hour markers.

What I find really interesting, is that this is the first time Tudor (and/or its parent Rolex) have offered a fabric strap as OEM on a watch since the milsubs of the 1970s.  If I were to get one, I would choose the grey dial with the fabric strap.
