Catalogue Essay
The present watch circa 1967 is one of the last batches of the reference 7928 before it was discontinued in the same period, making way for future Submariner references. The dial of this watch features an open chapter ring and modernized white text, creating a striking contrast against the beautiful matte dial. Unlike Rolex, Tudor Submariners have a curved line of text for "Self-Winding", adding a charming element to the dial along with the Tudor rose and Gothic typography. The watch is also fitted with a Rolex crown and folded bracelet, sharing parts with its sister company.
In excellent overall condition, the watch retains its original proportions with thick lugs and nice beveling. The dial is also very well-preserved, with the luminous material having aged beautifully to a pumpkin hue over the years. Together with a blank guarantee, its rarity adds to its allure, making it a gem for vintage watch collectors and a valuable addition to any dive watch collection.
Tudor
Swiss | 1926Almost twenty years after Rolex was founded, Hans Wilsdorf established Tudor with the intention of making more affordable watches without compromising the quality for which Rolex was renowned. Tudor was named after the British Dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603, and their symbol came from the "War of Roses." After interchanging Rose and Shield symbols for a number of years, the firm replaced the Rose with the Shield logo from the 1960s until today.
Some of the most recognized vintage models made by Tudor include the Submariner, a waterproof model first introduced in 1954, the Oysterdate, the earliest versions of which were nicknamed the "Monte-Carlo," the Heritage, which included the date at 6 o'clock, as well as the Pelagos, which translates to "deep sea" in Greek.
