1978 Tudor Date-Day Ref. 94500
After the mid-1970s, the Tudor Date Day watches change reference.The case still manufactured by Rolex is resized down to a more common 36 mm size. There are three available bezels, available in white gold fluted, stainless steel polished, and in a steel, engine turned option. The really cool thing about the later 94500 reference is the double quick set day and date feature of the ETA 2834 which is a feature found on the later model big brother Rolex president references. The other obvious difference between the Tudor Day-Date and the Rolex Day-Date is their weight. The Rolex Day-Dates are always in a precious metal while the Tudor was only offered in two tone or stainless steel.

It is functional due to the fact that it displays the day and the date, and stainless steel case makes it a very versatile and functional timepiece. this would make a unique and functional daily driver that would is suitable in many settings casual to formal.
