This uncommon Tudor Prince Oysterdate reference 9121/0 from the 1970s is a superb example of vintage diver design. The 38 mm tonneau-shaped stainless steel Oyster case, excluding the Rolex screw-down crown, features a deep blue elapsed-time bezel and sharp brushing throughout. The original cream-colored dial remains in pristine condition, with applied silver indexes and baton hands filled with warmly patinated lume. The iconic large applied Tudor shield adds a bold vintage character, while the sloped inner minute track creates a unique depth. The watch is powered by the reliable automatic ETA Caliber 2784 and remains in proper working order. It comes with its original integrated steel bracelet with 8 links, fitting wrists up to 17 cm. A rare and charismatic Tudor diver that’s becoming increasingly collectible in today’s market.
Case: the bold tonneau shape is emblematic of 1970s design. It’s paired with a Rolex-signed screw-down crown, reflecting Tudor’s technical connection to its parent company during that era.
Dial: the cream tone is both uncommon and visually striking. Its large applied Tudor shield is a bold graphic feature that enhances collectibility, and the sloped minute track adds refinement.
Movement: the ETA 2784 is a robust automatic caliber with quick-set date and proven reliability. It’s been a solid foundation for Tudor’s automatic offerings during the period.
