1963 Tudor Submariner (Ref. 7928) PCG "Gilt Chapter Ring Dial"

The Tudor Submariner Ref. 7928 was first introduced in 1960. The Ref. 7928 is like the little brother to the Rolex 5513/5512 references as they share many of the same exact parts and similar design elements. Interestingly, the Rolex Submariner and the Tudor Submariner were actually developed at the same time and launched just a few months apart from each other. The Tudor Submariner Ref 7928 is just as handsome as the big brother Rolex 5512/5513 references but possess a unique charm and feeling that is distinctly Tudor!

This early example ref. 7928 possesses everything we love about vintage Tudor Submariners. From the gilt chapter ring rose dial, to the pointed crown guard case. This would make a great addition to a growing collection as it retains the classic and timeless look of the Submariner while being unique and eye-catching.
