About this watch

Tudor Submariner 79090 Black 39mm 1989 Dating to 1989, this Tudor Submariner presents remarkably well for its age. The case is in very good overall condition, retaining much of its original character with only the kind of light wear one would expect from a watch that has been enjoyed over the decades. The lugs remain well-defined and the case back shows no significant signs of distress. The bracelet sits in equally good condition with only minor signs of use consistent with its age, retaining a pleasing solidity on the wrist and wearing comfortably as intended. The black dial is in excellent condition, presenting cleanly with no fading, tropical shifts, or surface imperfections to note. The gloss remains intact and the printed indices and text are sharp and well-preserved. The handset mirrors this standard, showing no moisture damage, corrosion, or deterioration, and continues to complement the dial beautifully. The watch has been demagnetised and has successfully passed a 5 bar water resistance pressure test. For a 1989 example, this is a particularly honest and well-kept Submariner that reflects decades of careful ownership.
