Tudor/Rolex "Prince Oysterdate 200m/660ft Submariner", Case No. 799221, Ref. 9411/0, Cal. ETA 2784, 39 mm, circa 1973
A diver's automatic vintage wristwatch with date and hack feature, so called "Snowflake"
Case: Rolex, steel, screw back, bidirectional rotatable bezel, screwed Rolex "Triplock" winding crown, folded steel Rolex "Oyster" bracelet ref. 7836 with endlinks stamped 380, buckle extension, 7/5 bracelet elements, bracelet length 145 mm, total length 215 mm. Dial: black.
The Tudor Submariner "Snowflake" is an icon among the sports wristwatches. It was launched in 1969 as reference 7016 without date and as reference 7021-0 calibre 2484 with red date display. These models were produced until the mid 1970s and eventually replaced with reference 9401/0 circa 1973; the updated versions with the so-called "snowflake" markers and hands came with blue or black dials without date, or as reference 9411/0 with date. The Submariner Tudor reference 9411 was delivered with either a black dial and matching black bezel or navy blue dial with blue bezel.
This original dial has a charmingly aged appeal with off-white, square, triangular and rectangular luminous markers and hands. The revolving "LONG 5" bezel features a beautifully faded inset - the watch has a fantastic "vintage Rolex" look and is a highly coveted collectors’ dream.
