About the watch
In 1989, Tudor unveiled the 79000 series of Submariners, which included the ref. 79090 and 79190. The Ref. 79090, reminiscent of the original 7900 series, offered both blue and black dial options with matching bezels. Notable changes included triangular hour markers at 6 and 9 o’clock. Its 39mm case housed an ETA 2824-2 movement, while the Oyster-type steel bracelet (ref. 7836) featured folding links and a folding clasp adorned with the Tudor logo. It was an option back then to choose either the diving bracelet 9315 or the 7836. The 79090 is a beautifully executed homage to the vintage Submariners. Indeed, although produced in the 90s, the watch sports an aesthetically pleasing black matt dial with applied tritium indexes that are not circled and an Oyster bracelet with folding links, both reminiscent of 70s Submariners. Despite these vintage features, the watch exhibits great resistance and is perfect for daily wear for anyone seeking more than just a classic black Submariner. This specific piece dates back to circa 1990 and has been kept in amazing condition over the years.
