Design
- Case and Dial
- The stainless steel case of this Tudor Submariner measures 40 mm in diameter. The dial incorporates geometric hour markers, including rectangular and triangular shapes, paired with the signature snowflake-style hand configuration. A date aperture is positioned at the 3 o'clock mark, magnified by a cyclops lens integrated into the crystal. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a graduated scale for dive timing. The auction description reports the case remains in an unpolished state. A protective sticker with the model designation 9411 remains affixed to the caseback. The dial is noted to have slight oxidation, and the overall state of the watch is categorized by the auctioneer as new old stock, indicating that the timepiece has not been subjected to wear or standard usage.

These items verify the retail delivery package as originally distributed.
