In 1992, Tudor released what would become one of the most revered models in their line of dive watches—the Tudor Submariner Ref. 79090. By then, Tudor had already established itself as a brand that combined the heritage and craftsmanship of its parent company, Rolex, with a more accessible price point. The 79090, however, was a significant model that stood out for its perfect balance of form and function, making it a classic among both watch enthusiasts and professional divers.

The Tudor Submariner lineage dates back to the 1950s when the brand first introduced its diving watches to meet the growing demand for reliable, rugged timepieces that could withstand the harsh conditions of underwater exploration. Tudor’s Submariners were quickly adopted by various naval forces around the world, thanks to their robust construction and dependable performance.

The Ref. 79090, which emerged in the early 1990s, was one of the last iterations of the classic Tudor Submariner before the model line was discontinued in favor of newer designs. This model maintained the quintessential Submariner DNA—stainless steel construction, a unidirectional bezel, and a depth rating suitable for serious diving. However, it also introduced subtle refinements that set it apart from its predecessors.

Morning Meeting - The Professional Edge

Start your day with confidence by pairing the Tudor Submariner 79090 with a sharp navy suit, a crisp white dress shirt, and a silk tie in a subtle pattern. The stainless steel case and tritium dial of the Submariner add a touch of understated luxury to your ensemble, while the 40mm size strikes the perfect balance between presence and discretion. The folded link bracelet, with its vintage charm, complements the formality of your outfit, ensuring you stand out in the boardroom without overpowering your look. This combination is ideal for those pivotal meetings where every detail matters.

Afternoon Leisure - Casual Elegance

For a relaxed afternoon, perhaps a lunch with friends or a casual stroll through the city, the Tudor Submariner 79090 shines when paired with a smart-casual ensemble. Think a well-fitted grey cashmere sweater, dark denim jeans, and brown leather loafers. The plexi crystal and tritium lume give off a warm, vintage vibe that resonates with the easy-going yet refined nature of this outfit. The subtle hints of patina on the dial are a testament to the watch's storied past, making it a conversation starter for those who appreciate the finer things in life. This outfit is perfect for enjoying the finer aspects of your day with effortless style.

Evening Event - Timeless Sophistication

As the day transitions into evening, let the Tudor Submariner 79090 accompany you to a more formal occasion, such as a cocktail party or a dinner date. Pair it with a tailored charcoal grey suit, a black turtleneck, and polished oxford shoes. The sleek design of the Submariner, accentuated by the 9315 bracelet and 380B endlinks, perfectly complements the sophisticated simplicity of this outfit. The watch’s heritage and impeccable design provide a subtle nod to your discerning taste, making it the perfect accessory for an evening where elegance and refinement are key.

Introducing the Tudor Submariner Ref. 79090, a captivating stainless steel masterpiece crafted in 1992. This timepiece is a testament to the elegance and charm that only time can bestow. As the dial has gracefully matured over the years, it has developed a delightful creamy patina, enhancing its allure and marking it as a true collector's item. The dial and hands remain in their original, untouched state, exhibiting no fluorescent properties under UV light, further emphasizing their vintage authenticity.

The watch case is in excellent condition, preserving the integrity and appeal of this classic Submariner. Accompanying the timepiece is the original Tudor folded link bracelet, reference 9315, complete with 380B endlinks and stamped P9 (from the year 1991), perfectly complementing the watch's sophisticated design.

The tritium dial and hands have been impeccably preserved, aging harmoniously together to create a cohesive and visually stunning look. It's important to note that tritium was phased out in the late '90s within the Swiss watch industry, making this timepiece even more special. A distinct feature of this Tudor Submariner is its use of Rolex components—a common practice for Tudor until the late '90s. This particular model proudly displays a Rolex-signed crown and caseback, adding an extra layer of prestige to its already impressive pedigree.
