An iconic Tudor Submariner from 1981, known to collectors and enthusiasts as the Snowflake due to its distinctive hands and hour markers. Snowflakes have gained a strong following over the years, partly because some were issued to the French Navy (Marine Nationale) and the U.S. Navy, proving their ruggedness and readiness for action. It’s a solidly built Submariner, just with a cooler and more distinctive layout.
This example is in great condition, showing a light cream tone on the hands and hour markers. The lightly faded insert gives it a killer look. Now available!
Specifications & Condition:
The 40mm stainless steel case is in great condition, showing previous polishing but retaining sharp lugs and a thick profile. It is paired with a Phoenix NATO strap. The black dial is in great condition, with a clean matte surface free of visible imperfections. The lume has aged evenly to a light cream tone, and the hands are in great condition. This watch is running accurately, though the service history is unknown.
Notes:
I was just talking with my brother about how a Snowflake always seems to grab your attention more than a classic Rolex Submariner. There’s something a little more daring about the Tudor—more rugged, with a bit more character, at least in my eyes.
