In 1954, Tudor launched its Oyster-Prince Submariner, reference 7922. It looked almost identical to the Rolex models 6200, 6204, and 6205, which launched just months prior.
The firm introduced their most recognizable Submariner variation, the reference 7928, as seen here, in 1960. This 4th generation Tudor Submariner looked very similar to the Rolex references 5512 and 5513, featuring a 40 mm case with protective crown guards.
Just like Rolex models, the reference 7928 went through many crown guard variations from square, to the pointed crown guards, to the rounded crown guards we see popular today.
Only produced for about eight years, the reference 7928 was enthusiastically received as an alternative to the famous Submariners sported in the early James Bond franchise.
The present example features an attractive and well-preserved meters first dial. It has a wonderful grainé textured background and nicely patinated indexes.
The attractive lightly faded bezel contributes to the wonderful charm of this collectible vintage piece.
