Tudor Prince Oysterdate Quartz Pumpkin Lume (Ref. 91514), 1984

Dealer description — Huntington Company

History and Significance The Tudor Oysterquartz line represents a short but interesting chapter in the brand’s history, introduced as part of the broader industry shift toward quartz technology in the late 1970s and 1980s. While Rolex developed its own Oysterquartz models, Tudor followed with its own interpretation, offering similar styling with more accessible positioning. The ref. 91514 is one of the earliest executions of this concept, featuring the familiar Datejust style layout with an integrated case and bracelet design that reflects the angular aesthetic of the period. Alongside the two tone ref. 91533, it helped define Tudor’s quartz offering at the time. This example stands out for its condition and dial. The lume has aged into a warm pumpkin tone, contrasting nicely against the silver dial and adding depth without overwhelming the clean design. Early examples like this, especially with well preserved dials, are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Writer’s Thoughts The integrated case gives this watch a completely different feel compared to traditional Tudor or Rolex models. It sits flat, wears compact, and feels very much like a product of its time in the best way. The lume is what pulls you in. That warm tone against the silver dial gives it just enough character while still keeping it very wearable day to day. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
