Tudor Submariner 7922

Tudor Submariner 'First Model'

The extremely rare Tudor Ref. 7922 – their very first Submariner, in a must-have state of preservation. Don't miss this opportunity to own an important part of Tudor's diving history. In extraordinary unpolished condition, this 1958 Tudor ref. 7922 was the first dive watch they ever produced. It features a beautifully aged dial with gilt closed chapter ring (where the minute marks are edged with a circle). It has the very early '100 m = 330 ft' depth rating, matching radium hands & its original (incredibly rare) red triangle aluminium bezel insert; all of which are completely original. Inside the 39mm stainless steel case is Tudor's self-winding calibre 390, modified from Fleurier's automatic movement, waterproof to 100m. It also features the early small crown, " Tropic" Plexiglas crystal and rare butterfly winding rotor. The Tudor "Oyster Prince" Submariner, model 7922 was only made between 1954 and early 1958, making this example one of the last ever made. It was followed directly by the ref. 7924 (200m), also in 1958. According to the Tudor official history, this 7922 also precedes the manual-wind model (7923) which was made in one reference only. In 30 years, Watch Club has never had a Tudor Submariner like this.
