Tudor Ref. 79090 Submariner

Story

A vintage 1990 Tudor Submariner with a sporty-yet-sophisticated blue dial and handsomely aged tritium indices and hands

This Tudor Ref. 79090 Submariner was made in 1990, and the folks at Fog City Vintage have done an incredible job sourcing, authenticating, and representing its condition. The stainless-steel case and bold blue dial carry on the dive watch style and legacy of the Tudor name, with the bezel fading to a handsome shade of grayish-blue that compliments the dial and bracelet exceedingly well. The original tritium indices and hands have aged to a creamy ivory color, and the domed crystal adds a subtle twist that sets this dive watch apart from the pack.
