Awful awful numerals/typography. Absolutely horrific. Clearly done by someone who has no idea what they’re doing. Embarrassingly bad.

I checked, RANGER is what you get when you type it in Arial in open office.
At least to my uneducated eye.

But who would expect a watch brand, from a country that has zero good (font) designers, to do better?

Yes, the RANGER text is Arial. Tudor use Arial for all their dial text. You'd think it would be some sort of criminal offence for a Swiss watch manufacturer to use Arial (an ugly rights-free Helvetica pastiche designed for Microsoft Windows) but they seem to love it.
