Our Take

This Tudor Submariner Ref. 76000 is one of Tudor’s late-1980s Submariner models, sharing much of its design DNA with the Rolex Submariner through Tudor’s historic relationship with Rolex. This midsize example features a 36mm stainless steel case, Rolex-signed crown, sapphire crystal, and stainless steel folded-link bracelet similar to those found on Rolex Submariner models of the era. Its dark blue dial and matching blue bezel give the watch a distinctive appearance while retaining the classic Submariner design.

The watch is presented in original vintage condition, with the dial and hands remaining stable and showing slight degradation to the lume on the hands consistent with age. There are signs of wear throughout the case and bracelet, as expected from a vintage example. The folded-link bracelet remains in excellent condition with very little stretch, while the sapphire crystal is free of notable scratches and presents like new. The watch is offered without its original box or papers.
