Description

Tudor Submariner Blue Snowflake 7021/0 Debuting in 1954, the Tudor Submariner set out on its journey to become 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. Released in 1969, the ref. 7021/0, which we have here, ushered in a new era for the Submariner and Tudor alike by introducing the new snowflake handset for which Tudor is famous for and the date complication that can be found at 3 o'clockSubmariner'sTudor's on the dial. Produced with either a black or blue dial with a matching anodized aluminum bezel insert, the Submariner ref. 7021/0 has become a collector-favorite thanks to its large distinctive square hour markers, snowflake hands, and date function – all immediate tells that this Submariner is undoubtedly a lot more unique than the ones that came before it. THE DIAL Featuring a stunning blue dial, this example has its original snowflake hands and untouched square hour markers - all of which feature tritium luminous with a stunning creamy patina. THE MOVEMENT The watch features an ETA 2482 caliber workhorse automatic movement.
