Tudor
Submariner, ref. 79090, sold in 1994
The Tudor Submariner Blue is an interesting alternative to the classic Rolex Submariner, offering a design close to that of the latter but with significant differences, such as the obvious blue dial and bezel. With its steel case and bracelet that sport some true vintage characteristics, the Tudor Submariner blue reference 79090 is a perfect daily wearer that will likely become a future collector's piece. This specific watch was sold in 1994 and comes with its full set.

about the watch
In 1989, Tudor unveiled the 79000 series of Submariners, which included the Ref. 79090 and 79190. The Ref. 79090, reminiscent of the original 7900 series, offered both blue and black dial options with matching bezels. Notable changes included triangular hour markers at 6 and 9 o’clock. Its 39mm case housed an ETA 2824-2 movement, while the Oyster-type steel bracelet (ref. 9315/0) featured folding links and a 'Fliplock' folding clasp adorned with the Tudor logo.
The 79090 is a beautifully executed homage to the vintage Submariners. Indeed, although produced in the 90s, the watch sports an aesthetically pleasing blue dial with tritium indexes that are not circled and an Oyster bracelet with folding links, both reminiscent of 70s Submariners. Despite these vintage features, the watch exhibits great resistance and is perfect for daily wear for anyone seeking more than just a classic black Submariner.
This specific piece, sold in 1994, has been kept in amazing condition over the years. As a cherry on top, it is sold with its original full set.
The watch is in amazing condition. The case, bracelet and bezel have sharp angles and a lot of material, proving how well it was taken care of. The dial is immaculate.
The bracelet is the original folded-links Oyster bracelet, reference 9315/0. It is in great condition and has no stretch.
The watch is sold with its original box, warranty card, a booklet, red tag, as well as the original red leather wallet.
The movement is a caliber 2824-2, which runs perfectly well.
