Tudor Submariner 76100
The Tudor Submariner 76100 was introduced in 1984 however as a transitional reference, it was only in production for a short space of time. Earlier watches, such as this piece, have the “T SWISS T” dial, referring to the tritium used in the hour markers, bezel and hands. This striking blue dial also features a brushed metal date disc, whereas all other models use a painted white date disc.
The dial and hands on this example are in a wonderful condition - the tritium has aged to a buttery-cream colour. The dial is believed to be original, and the hands are thought to be Tudor service hands.
The case used is the 40mm Oyster case that we know and love – offering a relatively slim profile for a steel sports watch. The steel bi-directional bezel features a blue aluminium insert, adorned with a tritium dot at 12 o’clock.
Underneath a Rolex-stamped case back is a Tudor-modified ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, known to be sturdy and reliable. The watch has recently had a full service and as such, we are pleased to offer it with a 12-month warranty. Furthermore, the watch is supplied with a Rolex service card from 2014 and further paperwork.
Fitted to the watch is a steel folded Oyster bracelet. It features a Tudor logo on the outside of the clasp, a Tudor stamp on the inside of the clasp, and a diver’s extension. We think that this watch would also look fantastic on any number of straps including a leather, sailcloth, rubber or NATO.
This piece is a truly charming example of a vintage Tudor Submariner and would make a wonderful addition to any watch collection.
