The Watch

Just after the second world war, Hans Wilsdorf Founder of Rolex knew that the time had come to expand and give the Tudor brand a proper identity of its own. Thus, on 6 March 1946, he created the “Montres TUDOR S.A.” company, specialising in models for both men and women. Rolex guaranteed the technical, aesthetic, and functional characteristics, along with the distribution and after-sales service. The Tudor rose within a shield was meant to represent an invincible union of strength. Its robustness, elegant lines, and beauty of the design. In 1947 Tudor introduced the Oyster, their first waterproof watch, building on the success of the Rolex Oyster of the same period. In 1952, 26 Tudor Oyster Prince watches were included in the British scientific expedition to Greenland organized by the Royal Navy and sponsored by The Queen. This showed the world how robust Tudor Oyster watches were.

Our 1958/59 Tudor Oyster Royal 7934 has a 34mm round stainless steel Oyster case with tapered lugs. A lug to lug length of 40.5mm and a thickness of 10mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a Rolex signed screwed-down crown. The slim polished bezel holds a domed crystal above a crisp white dial.

Gilt lance hands with luminescence and a fine thermally blued tapered sweeping center seconds hand complete the dial. Text on the dial is precisely printed. On the reverse, a screw-down case back. Inside a Manually Wound Tudor Cal. 1156, 17 jewels, 18,000 beats per hour. The watch comes fitted on a later Tudor 19mm stainless steel bracelet with a signed folding clasp. A nice inclusion is the Tudor red box (hinges broken) with Tudor by Rolex on the inside.
