The Tudor Submariner: A Dive Watch Legacy

The Tudor Submariner is one of the most storied dive watches in the history of Swiss horology. Introduced in 1954 with the reference 7922, this model was Tudor's answer to the growing need for a professional-grade dive watch — one that could rival its Rolex counterpart while offering a more accessible price point. Over the decades, the Tudor Submariner developed a cult following thanks to its robust construction, military-issued variants, and design language that often mirrored Rolex Submariners with subtle Tudor-specific distinctions.

The collection was officially discontinued in 1999, making pre-owned Tudor Submariners a sought-after piece of vintage watchmaking history. Many early references feature the brand's signature "snowflake" hands, while others carry Rolex-signed cases and crowns — a reflection of Tudor's origins as a more attainable tool watch built using Rolex components and ETA-based movements.

Rediscover the Legacy of the Tudor Submariner

The Tudor Submariner represents one of the most beloved chapters in Tudor's dive watch heritage. Launched in 1954 and discontinued in 1999, this collection became renowned for its durability, clarity, and stylistic crossover with Rolex — its sister brand under the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation. Early references like the 7922, 7924, and 7016 laid the foundation for Tudor's identity in the professional dive watch category.

Notable features include snowflake hands (introduced in 1969), matte dials, and Rolex-signed crowns and casebacks on select vintage references. These details — especially present in models like the 9401/0 — have made the Submariner a highly collectible choice for enthusiasts who value vintage charm with authentic tool watch functionality.

The Tudor Submariner also holds a unique place in military history. Several governments, including the French Marine Nationale and the U.S. Navy, issued Tudor Submariners to their divers, further reinforcing the watch's professional pedigree.
