Tudor Submariner 7928 chapter ring gilt

Tudor introduced the ref. 7928 in 1959, and it was in continuous production for nearly 10 years. With the 7928, Tudor brought forth major changes including the introduction of crown guards and a larger case size of 39mm.

Over the production run, we witness several variations in the case and dial, making this the most diverse reference in Tudor's submariner lineup. One constant being Tudor's decision to keep the modified Fleurier cal. 390 from the previous references.

The 7928 was the first Tudor Submariner to have crown guards, which evolved several times over the span of its production. A key influence in the design of the case was the French Navy.

Early 7928's were fitted with gilt hands that lasted until 1963, in tandem with the gilt print dial production.

Our Sub has a black dial with gilt closed minute track and silver lettering.
