Story of an Icon: Tudor Submariner History

In this video, I would like to talk about the history of the Tudor Submariner from it's inception in 1954 to it's discontinuation in the early 2000s.
I would like to thank the Tudor website which has been invaluable for finding information about the different references made of this watch, some of of which are very new to me.

Thank you so much for the history lesson on my favorite watch brand! Information like this gives me a better understanding and appreciation for my Tudor 79220B!

Brilliant series of videos - many thanks

Great video but was hoping for some info on the transitional 76100...

Great job Armand...I really enjoyed this video! The HBB in red is a grail of mine. Have a great day

My favorite is the blue snowflake. It's the one in the line that really stands out as unique and interesting. It's a little bit ugly, too, which is fine for a tool watch that is prioritizing functionality.

Nice vid. I would have liked to see costs, esp. as compared to the equivalent Rolex Subs of the day. I think of these watches, perhaps unfairly, as a cheaper, more affordable Rolex so I'm curious as to how much one would have saved buy purchasing one vice a Rolex

Another great vid my friend! Very well researched work.

[markrichards]

Well done, great vid..I like them all..I really need one in my life..

One has to keep in mind that the Tudor Sub wasn't a luxury watch back then. They filled the same slot as Seiko diver do today - a solid, high quality sports watch. When I bought my first Rolex - a Pepsi GMT - in 1992, the Rolex was $1600 (msrp) and a Tudor Sub was - if I remember correctly - $450.

La perfection de ton accent british m'agace profondement. Tu l'as assimilé comment?

Are the ref 75090/75190 also considered be part of the Submariner lineup? Just curious as to why they don't get as much coverage

[SumD-EGuy]

I absolutely love these “Story of an Icon” series of videos. Could you do one on the Rolex Daytona, please? It is hard to find videos with information like yours all in one place. Most of the videos are just reviews about on particular watch.

Thank you, good day.

7928 & 79190 are both must have watches IMO 1 down 1 to go.... :)

What is the story about the mini sub? 73090. Is it for men or boy?

[TheDanishSpaceman]

The one from 1954, ref. 7922, is the most elegant and the 1969, ref. 7016, is the most bad a$$ tool diver

You talk in circles and don't make sense at times

[Eric_Nielsen]

Definitely one of your most interesting videos. I love the vintage Tudor Subs especially the 9401 but at present they are very much overvalued. I suppose that makes the Black Bay even more appealing by comparison but I'll continue to search for the vintage.

[nickburns]

thank you, great video, as a tudor fan it was great to view the history of the tudor sub

[marcelodietrich]

Fabulously produced video of the Tudor Submariner.
Thank you!
I just yesterday procured a 9701 - learning this reference, and the movement contained while watching your video.

Again, thank you!
All your efforts are greatly appreciated!

I was recently gifted two Tudor Subs from my mother in law. They belonged to my late father in law. The oldest is my favourite, a 1960 pointed crown guard 7928. The other is a newer 1997 the last version they did.
Both lovely watches.
