The Oyster Prince Submariner reference 7922 was Tudor’s first diver’s watch launched in the mid-1950s. As with the Rolex Submariners launched by Tudor’s parent company, the earliest references did not have crown guards and are highly sought after by collectors. The reference 7922 was offered in two variants, waterproof to a depth of either 100 or 200 meters. Fitted with a “small crown”, the present reference 7922 is waterproof to a depth of 100 meters.

Most impressively, its “Tropical” dial has developed a superb and consistent warm brown patina throughout, whilst the bezel has also pleasingly aged to a burgundy color. The original luminous hour markers have similarly aged to a burgundy brownish color, matching perfectly the color of the luminous hands. The stunning manner with which the present watch has aged gives it a delightfully warm vintage look that collectors adore. Further enhancing its desirability, the watch is accompanied by its original blank guarantee, box and hangtags.
