Possibly the most iconic watch ever produced, the Submariner has long standing utilitarian roots that span decades, and everyone who’s anyone has been spotted wearing one. However, if you look deeper into the Submariner line, you may find a less known but just as incredible model manufactured by Tudor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese pieces are not only more unique and uncommon than the traditional Submariner, but offer a more fun, playful design — particularly with the blue-dialed variants like the example that we have here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThis example, a Ref. 94110, dates to circa 1979 and is known as a 'Snowflake' for it's distinctive hands and indices. In recent years, these have developed a cult following with collectors and have become one of the more sought after and collectible vintage Tudor Submariner References. This particular example comes to us in strong overall condition, with a thick Oyster case, possibly very lightly previously polished, with visible factory chamfers and showing honest signs of wear throughout. It comes fitted to a later Oyster bracelet with a Rolex signed fliplock clasp with dive extension. The standout feature with this piece, however, is that blue dial. The matte surface is virtually flawless — seemingly devoid of any wear or damage, and retains it's vibrant blue color throughout. The characteristic square Tritium plots show a light and uniform 'eggshell' patina throughout, with the equally characteristic 'snowflake' handset matching the dial perfectly. Last but not least, the blue bezel insert has developed a heavy fade with a matching aged Tritium pip, both of which suit this piece beautifully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThese days, Tudors most popular line, the Black Bay, drawn largely from pieces like the one that we have here, and for good reason.
