Tudor Ref. 7016/0
Manufacturer: Tudor Year: 1974 Reference No: 7016/0 Case No: 815'515 Model Name: Oyster Prince Submariner "Snowflake" Material: Stainless steel Calibre: Automatic, cal. 2483, 17 jewels Bracelet/Strap: Stainless steel Rolex riveted Oyster bracelet, max length 210mm. Clasp/Buckle: Stainless steel Rolex folding deployant clasp stamped 76 Dimensions: 39mm. Diameter Signed: Case, dial, and movement signed, bracelet further signed Rolex Accessories: Accompanied by Tudor presentation box, outer packaging, hang tag and blank Tudor guarantee Catalogue Essay Rolex introduced Tudor to the market in 1945 with the intention of producing high quality watches at an affordable price. Throughout its history, Rolex used the Tudor line to experiment with different designs and concepts, later to be used in Rolex’s own watches. Reference 7016 was launched in 1968 as part of the Submariner family. It was the second generation Tudor Submariner, and was offered along with the reference 7021, which featured a date window. The history of the Tudor Submariner intimately follows that of its Rolex counterpart introduced in 1953 with the references 6200, 6204 and 6205. Tudor released their first model, the reference 7922, the following year, and it was almost identical, but features a non-chronometer caliber, the Fleurier 390. Like the Rolex line, the Tudor Submariner underwent various changes throughout its history, with the cases increasing in size from 37mm to 39mm, dials in either black or blue, and caliber changes. Most importantly, from a design perspective, the reference 7016 introduced a dial style with unusual square luminous numerals and “snowflake” hands. The present Tudor Prince Submariner is a superb example, in nearly new condition with strong case proportions and well-defined bevels to the case lugs as it left the factory. The original dial is stunning with no noticeable flaws or defects, which are normally seen on dials of this reference. The luminous numerals have aged to a warm cappuccino hue, matching perfectly with the luminous of the “snowflake” hands. The Tudor brand while originally intended for a less affluent market has proved over the last 71 years that it makes outstanding watches, and this fine reference 7016, offered with its original box, guarantee and hang tag is just as important in a collection of dive watches as any other brand.
