{"product_id":"tudor-oysterdate-cronograph-ref-79280","title":"Tudor Oysterdate Cronograph Ref. 79280","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the\u003cstrong\u003e late 1990s to early 2000s, the Tudor Oysterdate Chronograph Ref. 79280 \u003c\/strong\u003esits in one of the most interesting transitional phases of modern chronograph production. This is the\u003cstrong\u003e so-called “slim block”\u003c\/strong\u003e generation, a period where Tudor’s manufacturing was still deeply interwoven with Rolex industrial supply chains, well before full separation of component sourcing. The result is a watch that, in execution, feels far closer to a Rolex tool chronograph than most collectors initially assume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case architecture follows classic Oyster logic: \u003cstrong\u003e40mm\u003c\/strong\u003e proportions, screw-down construction, sharply defined crown guards and a tactile industrial finish that mirrors contemporaneous Rolex sports models. Even the pushers and crown assemblies in early B-series production frequently reflect \u003cstrong\u003eRolex-origin components or Rolex-grade machining standards\u003c\/strong\u003e, reinforcing the shared production ecosystem of the era. The bracelet in full steel, further strengthens this overlap, with geometry and finishing that sit extremely close to Rolex Oyster and Daytona-era bracelets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the watch is powered by the\u003cstrong\u003e robust ETA\/Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph calibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, a proven workhorse chosen for torque stability, serviceability, and long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAesthetically, the comparison to the Rolex Daytona is unavoidable\u003c\/strong\u003e: pump-style chronograph layout, balanced tricompax symmetry, tachymeter framing, and a wrist presence that echoes the Daytona silhouette without attempting to replicate it outright. This shared visual DNA is part of the reason the 79280 has gained increasing collector attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe defining element of this specific example is the Silver dial with cream subcounters configuration, which in this production context represents one of the most elusive and rarer executions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tudor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58100334494080,"sku":null,"price":6300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/4738\/7269\/files\/IMG-6829.png?v=1778846862","url":"https:\/\/luxotimefirenze.com\/products\/tudor-oysterdate-cronograph-ref-79280","provider":"Luxo Time Firenze","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
