Born in the 1950s, the Oyster Prince Submariner was built to serve as a professional divers\u2019 watch, featuring robust Oyster construction, clear legibility, and exceptional water resistance \u2013 soon catching the attention of military forces as indispensable tools for naval divers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TUDOR for the French Marine Nationale (Navy)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-258.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-258.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-258-768x341.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-258-600x266.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1956, the French Marine Nationale (Navy) was among the first to adopt the TUDOR Oyster Prince Submariner, using these watches extensively from the 1960s through the 1980s. When the Groupement d\u2019\u00c9tude et de Recherches Sous-Marines (G.E.R.S.), which translates to Underwater Study and Research Group, received Oyster Prince Submariner watches (Ref 7922 and 7923) for evaluation, they were tested for water resistance at 100 meters. In a letter from the Commander of the G.E.R.S, he deemed it \u2018perfect\u2019 and \u2018completely correct\u2019, which led them to place a fresh order of watches, water resistant to 200 meters. And so, in the late \u201850s, the Ref 7924 slated in with an instantly recognizable oversized crown. Collectors call this model the \u201cBig Crown\u201d. In quick succession, we had the Ref. 7928, which incorporated new crown guards \u2013 this became a staple model for all Marine Nationale diving endeavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1969 Ref. 7016 gave TUDOR\u2019s military Oyster Prince Submariners a makeover. Its notable use of \u2018Snowflake\u2019 hands and square hour indexes provided enhanced readability in low-light conditions. The square hour indexes offered extra real estate for luminous materials. Furthermore, these models boasted a Plexiglas crystal that was no longer domed but flat, thick and prominent making it better capable of withstanding the extremities. The later 1974 Ref. 7016 became the first in their military series to feature the iconic \u2018TUDOR M.N.\u2019 engravings and the year of issue, adding to its historical value and collectability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year later, in 1975, the Ref. 9401 \u2013 famously dubbed \u201cTudor Blue\u201d stood as TUDOR\u2019s quintessential French Marine Nationale model. With a blue dial and bezel combination, it strutted \u2018MN\u2019 engravings and \u2018Snowflake\u2019 hands but swapped the square for triangular hour indexes. This model remained in production and was delivered to the French Navy until the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TUDOR Oyster Prince Submariner \u2018US Navy\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-239.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-239.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-239-768x341.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-239-600x266.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>TUDOR\u2019s track record of serving militaries extends well beyond the French Marine Nationale and even Europe. In 1964, TUDOR introduced Ref. 7928, an Oyster Prince Submariner, which bore the screw-down caseback engraving \u2018US Navy\u2019 or \u2018USN\u2019 along with a date. These watches were similar in design to the Marine Nationale models but were customized to meet the specific requirements of the US military. These models often featured distinctive markings and were mounted only on flexible straps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>\u2018Military watches\u2019 represent a hallmark of robustness, precision, and reliability, far above the excellence of contemporary mechanical watches.
