More about Tudor:

41 years after founding Rolex SA, Hans Wildorf launched a second company, Tudor. Tudor watches became popular thanks to their durability and similarity in design and appearance to the more expensive Rolex tool watches. Tudor’s dive watches were often chosen by various armed and naval forces for their reliability and lower cost than Rolex dive watches.

The first Tudor Submariner was the reference 7922, released in 1954 as the brand’s first diver’s watch. Tudor introduced a several variants of this Submariner model over the next few years, including the reference 7923, the reference 7924 in 1958, and the reference 7928 in 1960. In 1968, Tudor introduced two new references of the Oyster Prince Submariner that featured newly upgraded ETA movements, 7016/0 and 7021/0. These models featured a new dial and hand design, using larger square-shaped and rectangular hour markers, and matching hour hands with uniquely angled ends. Both aesthetically appealing and more legible while diving, these Submariners were dubbed “snowflake” ‘by collectors.

This Tudor Heritage Black Bay diver range recalls these vintage models of the Tudor Submariner by reprising the same highly-collectible “snowflake” hands of the originals.
