Description:

 

Presented here in the original box is a stunning 1960’s self-winding Tudor Oyster-Prince. Featuring the iconic Rolex Oyster case, crown, and patented twin-lock screw down water resistance technology provided in partnership with Rolex SA. Tudor is the sister company to Rolex being founded by the same man, Hans Wilsdorf. When the first Tudor watches were manufactured, they used many of the same parts, components, and factories in production as Rolex watches. This is one such example from this unique time period.

 

Coming in a 34 mm stainless steel and gold plated Rolex Oyster case this watch features the unmistakable Rolex Oyster design. With a three-part case, a scratch free domed acrylic crystal, screw down crown and gold-plated case, bezel, and crown, the design language here is very similar to that of vintage Rolex models. The watch features the vintage style drilled lugs with a width of 19mm. The dial is a beautiful clean silver colour with a sunburst effect and displays the Tudor “Rose” and the brand name applied in clear ink. Around the outside of the dial is a very subtle minute counter, the hands are gold baton style with lume inserts, and the hours are marked with large mirror polished 3-dimensional indices with black lacquer on the top. The watch features a Rolex screw down crown featuring the Rolex “Coronet” logo with a single bar beneath denoting the patented Rolex twin-lock water resistant mechanism. It runs on a Tudor caliber 2461 automatic movement with shock-protection. The lug width is 19mm. The caseback of the watch is another Rolex component featuring the engraving “Original Oyster Case By Rolex Geneva” which is only found on vintage Tudors such as this. The watch comes with the original gold-plated Tudor pin buckle, Swiss made, like the rest of the watch and featuring the Tudor shield logo.

 

This particular item is in very good aesthetic and working condition for its age. The crystal is mostly free from blemishes, only showing a few faint linear marks. The dial and indices are in a superb state, shining brightly as though it is still 1967. The case is mostly scratch free but displays some patination and wear to the gold plating from its age and use. The watch runs well and precisely keeping accurate time with a smooth sweeping second hand. Additionally, it winds well by hand and via the internal self-winding mechanism from the movement of the wrist.

           

That said, this is a vintage item, and its performance should be taken into consideration with its age. The watch should not be considered waterproof unless tested by a watchmaker first.

 

Also included is a velvet pouch for storage as well as a polishing cloth – both new and unused items.

As the watch sold here is a vintage item, it does not come with the original packaging or paperwork.
