Founded in 1926, in Geneva, Switzerland, by Hans Wilsdorf, Tudor is a very close sister to the most well known watch brand in the world, Rolex. Hans Wilsdorf, also the founder of Rolex, created the brand just seven years after Rolex had moved to Switzerland. The intent was to create a more affordable watch while still maintaining that Rolex quality. For a long time, Tudor used off-the-shelf movements with cases and bracelets produced by Rolex. Today, Tudor is still a close sister company to Rolex, providing exceptional watches with great heritage at a more affordable price.
This watch is the Prince Oysterdate. Reference 74000 Overall, this watch is in (C) Good Condition. The watch does run and keeps acceptable time for its age, but the date indicator is damaged. While the date does advance every 24 hours, the number does not line up properly in the date window. The quickset function does operate, but not as smoothly as it should. It is recommended this watch be serviced to ensure full functionality.
