A Bezel with Unmatched Character
The faded, patinated bezel is the star of this watch, showcasing a unique transition from black to blue/light grey—a stunning effect that only decades of natural aging can produce. The bezel’s washed-out look contrasts beautifully with the sharp, well-preserved case, emphasizing the watch’s original strength and presence on the wrist.
The Perfect Vintage Diver DNA
The matte black dial remains in excellent condition, with a deep, rich tone that complements the stunning tritium patina on the hour markers and hands. The Snowflake hands, a signature of vintage Tudor Submariners, add to the unique and highly sought-after aesthetic of this reference.
This Tudor 9411 is accompanied by a rare Rolex Riveted Oyster bracelet, an exceptionally long example that fits wrists up to 21cm. With minimal wear and a strong structure, it remains an incredible piece of Rolex and Tudor’s shared history in watchmaking.
Rolex DNA, Tudor Precision
As a product of Tudor’s close relationship with Rolex in the 1960s, this watch features a Rolex-designed and made case, crown, and bracelet, further enhancing its collectibility. Inside beats the ETA 2784 automatic movement, an adjusted and robust caliber known for its reliability. The watch runs well and keeps excellent time.
