The Tudor Submariner reference 79090 represents the brand's dive watch offering produced from 1989 to 1999. This particular reference features manual winding operation, distinguishing it within Tudor's tool watch collection during this production period.
The 40mm stainless steel case houses the manual-wind ETA 2824-2 caliber with a 38-hour power reserve. The black dial is protected by an acrylic crystal, while a unidirectional rotating dive bezel provides timing functionality. Water resistance extends to 200 meters, and the watch is fitted with a steel bracelet.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking Tudor's dive watch heritage in a manual-wind configuration. The decade-long production run from 1989 to 1999 places it within Tudor's modern tool watch era, offering collectors a substantial case size with traditional manual winding mechanics in a purpose-built dive watch format.
That slightly less common model looks great on leather nato!
