Transitional 1995 "Matte Dial" Tudor Submariner (Ref. 79190) W/ box and cards
The Rolex/Tudor relationship dates back to 1926 when Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex SA, wanted to create a more affordable alternative. But in 1995 Rolex and Tudor although sister companies decided to brand and manufacture components independently offering increased brand differentiation.
The Tudor submariner 79190 uses the 2824-2 quick set movement is the first Tudor submariner to incorporate an upgraded sapphire crystal and unidirectional bezel while still maintaining a matte dial very much similar to the Rolex Ref.16800 submariner.
This would make a great addition to a growing collection or be a great first piece as it retains the classic and timeless look of the Submariner while being a unique addition as a result of the matte dial with improved sapphire crystal and uni-directional clicking bezel!
