1997 Tudor Submariner 'Rare Steel bezel' Ref. 79190 (Full Set)
To mark the last Tudor Submariner by Tudor the brand installed a polished stainless steel bezel with black enamel filled numerals. The combination of the glossy black dial and polished bezel gives it a very cool X-Ray look. With a production run of only 1 year in 1997 the 79190 Submariner is a hard find and in my opinion the best looking and rarest Tudor watches from that period. We are delighted to offer this watch in a super full set with everything it came with when it sold in 1998 in Italy, a truly special Tudor for the sophisticated collector.
