Currency and luxury watch market in 2025

As of July 2025, the yen has weakened to around 145 yen to 1 USD , and the domestic list price of imported Swiss watches in yen terms is gradually rising. In the second-hand market , popular models tend to remain priced at a high level even in yen terms, due in part to the influx of overseas buyers.

  • US interest rates remain high → Yen depreciation expected to continue
  • Domestic second-hand market sees increase in transactions due to recovery in tourism demand

What is Tudor? Practicality and strategic pricing inherited from Rolex

Tudor was founded in 1946 by Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf with the goal of "offering Rolex quality at an affordable price." In recent years, the company has maintained price competitiveness while increasing added value through its unique technologies, such as developing its own movements and obtaining METAS certification.
