The case shows only very few signs of wear. The tritium dial and hands are perfect, with the exception of a small crack in the hour hand, which is not considered critical. The movement is also in very good condition, though we still recommend a service. The watch comes with its box and punched papers featuring a green stripe, dated 1992. 1969 marked the beginning of the second generation of the Tudor Submariner, an era that lasted until 1999, when the series appeared in the catalog for the last time. Starting in 1989, reference 79090 replaced the Tudor Submariner without a date and was available with blue or black dials and matching bezels. The model featured luminous Mercedes hands, with the Tudor logo positioned just below 12 o’clock and the water resistance label just above 6 o’clock. The hour markers at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock are triangular rather than square. Case: very good, slightly worn. Dial: very good. Movement: very good, in working order, cleaning recommended.
