Tudor Submariner

Since 1954, the renowned watch company Tudor has conquered with its Submariner model and found a firm place in the hearts of demanding watch lovers and collectors of vintage diving watches.

The Tudor Submariner gained immeasurable popularity when the first Oyster Prince Submariner with the reference 7922 was presented in 1954. Robust, reliable, and waterproof, the timepiece convinces both professional and amateur divers who enjoy a reliable diving mechanism that can also be worn during everyday life. The case of the Tudor Submariner was provided by its parent company, Rolex, and featured a screw-down crown, a screw-down case back, and a reliable water resistance up to a depth of approximately 100 meters. Luminous hands, indices, and bezel graduation marking were a highly functional feature of the timepiece. The Tudor Submariner caused a stir among the watch loving community and was further developed throughout the years.

When the Submariner was first introduced to the market, Tudor was considered a young brand that was trying to establish itself as a quality timepiece producer offering appealing prices. The brand was known to be the daughter company of Rolex and was, in fact, sometimes manufactured with Rolex parts. While the classic Rolex was never intended for the masses, the Tudor Submariner was sold at a moderate price while matching the quality standards of Rolex. Today, Tudor keeps its prices friendly by obtaining its movements from the best producers in the industry, such as Fleurier or later, ETA. However, the similarities between Tudor and Rolex timepiece are still very evident when it comes to the Tudor Submariner collection.
