Both Tudor Oyster-Prince Submariner "no crown guard" references 7922 and 7924 were launched in 1958, shortly after the celebrated and better known Rolex reference 6538. Whereas reference 7922 was water-resistant to 110 m, (330ft), and fitted with the smaller crown, reference 7924, such as the present watch, was equipped with a larger case and crown in order to withstand water pressure to 220 m. (660 ft). As reliable as their "sisters" signed Rolex, but available at a lower price, the Tudor diver's watches were the brand of choice of many Armed Forces, particularly certain units of the French and the U.S. Navy. The present watch is fitted with the celebrated "Auto-Prince" caliber 390, a 17 jewels movement developed by Rolex in the 1950s for Tudor.
This Tudor Submariner reference 7924 made by Rolex and the little brother of the legendary “Big Crown” Submariners stands on its own for the charismatic condition of the case, dial, and hands. The dial has aged to a beautiful brownish-black depending on the angle of light you view it. The inside case back is stamped III.59, indicating this watch was made in the third quarter of the year 1959.
