Used by the U.S.NAVY and the French Navy, this model appeared in the Tudor collection in 1959, and set itself apart from previous Submariners with its extended water-resistance to 200 meters and, above all, its crown protection shoulders. What makes our watch special are the pointed crown shoulders. Featuring a "Tropical" dial, this watch is a particularly attractive collector's item.
