Vintage Tudor Advisor
Although there have been times in the past when Tudor have been thought of as Rolex’s smaller sibling, in recent years vintage Tudor watches have caught the attention of many collectors. They offer more interesting designs yet are often produced with some of the same components as Rolex.
This early 1960s Tudor Advisor reference 7926 is a wonderful example of this, combining an easy-to-wear watch with a practical mechanical alarm function, while overflowing with vintage charm.
The familiar 34mm Oyster case is well proportioned, with the twin crowns eluding that this watch is a little different. A red alarm hand adds a splash of colour to a simple silver dial, which has developed a light even patina over its 65 years.
Powering the watch is the manual-wind Tudor AS1475 movement. The alarm function really is very charming and a reminder of a time before mobile phones, when a wristwatch really could help organise your day.
A particular highlight is the period correct Rolex stretch bracelet, dated 1967. Its folded-link construction and unmistakable vintage feel suit the watch perfectly and only add to its character.
Presented in very good vintage condition, the watch shows honest signs of careful wear. The movement has been tested and found to be running well, and as such we are happy to supply the watch with a 6-month warranty.
With its beautifully balanced proportions, mechanical alarm, and desirable Rolex bracelet, the Tudor Advisor is one of Tudor's most charming and underrated vintage references.
