The first chronograph produced by Tudor, this 7032 and its fraternal twin the 7031 with a black acrylic bezel, was introduced in 1970, seven years after the Daytona, and fitted with the manually-wound Valjoux chronograph caliber 7734 (remarkable for its dependability and the hour window at six o'clock). Both references were also fitted with a much more sizable case, screw-down pushers, and crown guards. The moniker 'Home Plate' comes from the pentagonal hour markers resembling the home plate of a baseball field.

Consigned by the original owner, this fresh-to-market reference 7032/0 exudes rugged luxury, with a case over three millimeters larger than its Daytona cousin, and with far fewer examples produced. Of the two variants of the 7032, the black dial configuration seen in the present watch is by far the most rare, and only three examples have appeared at auction in recent memory. Received as a gift from his mother upon entering high school, the owner wore the watch daily, however has maintained it in very good condition, with the watch twice being serviced by Rolex once in 1988 and again in 1995. The rarity and pristine dial condition of this example is sure to excite vintage Tudor enthusiast, as well as the Rolex collecting community.
