​​Debuting just a year after the iconic Rolex Submariner in 1954, the Tudor Prince Submariner shares an incredible array of similarities to its sibling such as an entirely Rolex-made construction. While Rolex originally ran three references of Submariners from the get-go, Tudor only released one. With its no-frills attitude to watchmaking, Tudor’s tactic of using third-party sourced movements to power their Submariner proved to be popular as militaries around the globe like the French, the US, South African, Italian, and more all used the Tudor Submariner at some point for their divers and Navy. In 1975 the ref. 94010 was released with a new generation of movement, the ETA cal. 2776 and the cal. 2784, which featured the date. Offered in either blue or black, the ref. 94010 was the last Submariner to feature the iconic Snowflake dial amongst other different dials that were issued in the 1980s and became prevalent throughout the collection until its discontinuation sometime later, much like this circular hour marker dial that our example here has. Today, the Tudor Submariner lives on through the Black Bay collection, but there's nothing quite like the original.

Watch is in excellent overall condition. Case shows light wear including scratches and marks along the edges. Bezel insert exhibits minimal wear, and retains an original tritium pip. Bezel teeth are still sharp and well defined. The original tritium dial is near-mint showing minimal wear and has matching hands. Watch comes on a 13 link folded oyster bracelet signed Tudor. There is minimal stretch.

A legendary watch that is arguably one of the most widely decorated military issue timepieces ever, the Tudor Submariner enjoyed decades on the wrist of service members all around the globe, proving to be just as capable as its big brother, and if not, more so.
