Tudor Prince Oysterdate Submariner “Snowflake” Circa 1970

A cult favorite among vintage dive watch collectors, this Tudor Prince Oysterdate Submariner Ref. 9411/0 embodies the character that has made the early “Snowflake” models so sought after. Produced in the mid-1970s, this watch features the distinctive tritium snowflake-shaped hands and square hour markers introduced by Tudor in the late 1960s, a design that set these watches apart from their Rolex counterparts and has since become one of the brand’s most recognizable signatures.

The matte black dial has developed a rich patina, with the tritium plots and hands aging to warm amber tones that contrast beautifully against the faded blue “ghost bezel.” The bezel insert has lost its lume pearl at 12 o’clock, further contributing to the honest, well-traveled appearance collectors prize in vintage tool watches. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case with a date display and a screw-down crown, this Submariner retains the rugged presence that has made it a trusted companion both above and below the water.

Equally at home in a serious collection or a compelling first vintage watch with great heritage, this Submariner is a compelling example of one of Tudor’s most iconic vintage references.

This incredible timepiece has been restored and carries an 18-month warranty.
