Design
- Case and Bezel
- The watch is housed in a 40mm steel case designed for dive watch utility. It is paired with a rotatable bezel insert, which the vendor describes as having a faded 'fat font' appearance, indicating historical wear or exposure. The case includes integrated crown guards, which align with the production specifications of the 7928 reference during this late-series period. The watch is secured to the wrist with a 'Hecho en México' Jubilee bracelet. According to the vendor, this specific bracelet type was originally produced for the North and South American markets.
- Dial and Hands
- The dial is identified as a Mk7 variant, clearly featuring the Tudor rose logo. This creates a muted, high-contrast look on the black dial surface. The dial on this watch possesses a similar darkened appearance, though it is described as maintaining its original tritium base.
- Visible features
- • The dial features the Tudor rose logo at the 12 o'clock position. • The luminous material on the dial and hands appears significantly darkened. • The stainless steel Jubilee-style bracelet has a multi-link construction. • The black bezel insert features a rotating design with Arabic numeral markers.
- Provenance and Condition
- The watch is attributed to 1967 based on the serial number 597xxx provided by the vendor. This places the watch in the later stages of the 7928 reference's production run, which concluded in 1999 for the Submariner line. Regarding the current condition, the vendor states the watch has been fully serviced by their watchmaker. The overall condition is described by the vendor as 'very nice,' with an emphasis on the strength of the case.
