Tudor Submariner 79090

One of our very favourite vintage Tudor references. The perfect combo of a matte dial, 1680 case and vintage 9315 bracelet gives it the perfect vintage aesthetic. We like to think of it as a 1680, but with 20 years less wear and tear, and a movement that is cheaper to service. That sounds pretty appealing, doesn’t it?

This particular piece dates from circa-1993 and presents in excellent vintage condition. Case is thick, with even lugs and very sharp bevel lines. Finishes are excellent.

Dial is perfect, and tritium plots show very little degradation. Hands match, show little tritium degradation, and have some marks around their outer edges.

Original bezel in excellent condition, with tritium pearl. Shows some small marks, with some slight rust around the pip.

Bracelet is a 9315 with 380B endlinks. Contains 11 links, with very minimal stretch. Shows an S6 date code on the clasp.

Service history is unknown. Currently keeping time at around +25 secs per day at high 200’s amplitude. Amplitude is very strong, so a regulation should sort the timing.

Comes at watch-only, no box or papers. Will be supplied with Watch Vault Travel Pod and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
