Tudor Submariner 7928, 1966

Dealer description — S.Song Watches

Debuting just a year after the iconic Rolex Submariner in 1954, the Tudor Submariner stands tall as one of the most iconic and sought-after vintage dive watches of all time. Merging Rolex's practical and robust designs with Rolex externals and a third-party movement, Tudor met the need for a high-quality tool watch for the everyday man, and the Submariner stands tall as perhaps their most iconic offering of all time. Having gone through several iterations, the ref. 7928 introduced crown guards and a more modern case profile than that used on the older variants. Offered here, I have a completely original example with a stunning black gilt dial complete with a chapter ring along its periphery and creamy lume on its hour markers and hands. It doesn't stop there, however, as this example also features a Rolex-signed caseback and crown. Powered by the Rolex-customised Fleurier cal. 350 known as the Rolex cal. 390, the Tudor ref. 7928 combines the very best of vintage watch collecting into one attractive package. With its distinctive charm and immaculately preserved condition, this Tudor Submariner ref. 7928 stands as one of the finest examples offered on the market today. Fitted with the black "long 5" aluminum bezel insert to match its black dial, this monochromatic beauty will undoubtedly serve as a worthwhile addition to any collection.
