Tudor was created by Hans Wilsdorf to provide a more affordable, rugged alternative to Rolex, targeting professionals with a "workhorse" watch. In 1953 Rolex introduced the Submariner, and one year later Tudor introduced its version of the Submariner. Initially Tudor’s Submariner shared Rolex’s high quality case, bezel and bracelet with the difference being the branding on the dial and the movement. Highly reliable ETA movements are used but these are not COSC certified.
Throughout the years the Submariner evolved and started growing differently with Rolex’s. The most notable variation is the Snowflake that is now becoming the inspiration of the current Tudor’s dive watches. And at the end of the 1990s Tudor decided not to produce the Submariner and to replace it with other model.
In 1997, Tudor introduced the last variant of the reference 79190, known to collectors as “End Game”. It was produced for a short 2 years period until it was completely discontinued in 1999.
It has a 40mm case in Stainless Steel paired with a unique polished steel bezel that makes it look distinct from the other Submariners. It is paired with an oyster style bracelet.
The dial is glossy blue paired with applied circle indexes and the 12, 6 and 9 in triangle. It has the Tudor shield logo and branding at 12 and “Prince Date” wording right underneath. At 6 it is printed 200m - 660ft Submariner, indicating its depth rating.
It is powered by the ETA Caliber 2824-2 self-winding movement.
