Tudor Submariner Date

Tudor Subs offer a distinctive flavor of "The Same...But Completely Different!" Its watches were Rolexes in all but name: same Rolex Oyster case, same crowns, and Rolex crystals. The only difference was what beat inside the Oyster cases — Swiss ETA movements rather than movements that Rolex built in-house. We've long appreciated the subtle variations and the tremendous value proposition that Tudor offers when compared to their Rolex siblings. This particular piece, a Reference 79090, dates to circa 1992 and features an excellent, strong holey lug Oyster case with a magnified acrylic crystal, a matte black Tritium dial with a matching handset, a bidirectional rotating timing bezel with a black insert, and a folded-link Oyster bracelet with a Tudor-signed fliplock clasp, and of course the always-desirable classic Rolex Submariner proportions. This piece offers exceptional bang for the buck in the neo-vintage sports watch category — don't miss it!
