The Submariner 7928 was one of Tudor’s longest running references, launched in 1959, production continued until 1968.
The watch housed a modified movement from Fleurier, the caliber 390, and was water resistant to a depth of 200m.
There are several versions of the 7928, and like all Tudor Submariners, it was developed in collaboration with the French Navy, the 'Marine Nationale'.
The 7928 was the first Tudor dive watch to feature crown guards, which were introduced following criticism from the divers that the crowns on the ‘Big Crown’ Submariners (ref 7924) were prone to getting knocked and damaged.
The early 7928's featured square crown guards, and a gilt dial with a minute track ring, the crystals used were the Tropic 19. Later models featured pointed crown guards, and later still, rounded crown guards.
7928 Submariners with square crown guards are extremely rare, estimates vary on the total made, but there is general consensus there probably was not more than 100 made.
This one is uses a reworked Phong case, reworked MQ dial, a 7206 rivet bracelet and a genuine 390 caliber movement - a beautifully solid, industrial looking movement.
