Tudor Submariner 76100

Tudor Submariner Date 76100 Lolipop Hand

Debuting in 1954, the Tudor Submariner set out on its journey as a more affordable version of the Rolex Submariner, which had been released the year prior, in keeping with Tudor's original ethos. A legendary watch thanks to its ties to the French Navy amongst other military forces, the Tudor Submariner's history as one of the most widely issued military dive watches speaks for itself. Keen to produce just as high-quality a product as their sibling, Tudor fitted the Submariner with OEM Rolex parts throughout its construction, except for its third-party movement. Launched in 1984 to replace the ref. 94110 and existing as a transitional reference, the Submariner ref. 76100 is perhaps one of the rarest Tudor Submariner references on account of its short production run. Offered in a dated configuration with either a blue or black bezel, the ref. 76100 is identifiable by its lollipop hour hand. Featuring the most modern movement of any Tudor Submariner within its 40mm stainless steel case, the high-grade ETA cal. 2824-2, renowned as perhaps one of the most robust and widely used automatic movements ever, the ETA cal. 2824-2 featured in various Tudor models for over 30 years – a true testament to its quality. Fitted with a Rolex Triplock crown and flip-lock clasp, the ref. 76100 is a stunning timepiece that harbors some of the modern creature comforts we ask of our watches while still retaining a vintage feel. This is thanks to its anodized aluminum bezel insert, hollow end links, and hollow center links; all design details that are quickly fading from modern horology.
