1995 Tudor Submariner Blue 79090

The 1995 Tudor Submariner Blue 79090 represents the end of an era for Tudor and is one of the brand's most beloved vintage dive watches. Produced from 1989 until 1995, the 79090 was the final Tudor Submariner to feature a classic acrylic crystal before the introduction of the sapphire-equipped 79190. Its vibrant blue dial and matching blue bezel have become synonymous with Tudor's rich diving heritage, while the 39mm Oyster case, Mercedes hands, and painted tritium hour markers give it a timeless aesthetic that closely mirrors the Rolex Submariners of the period. During this era, Tudor utilized Rolex-signed cases, crowns, and bracelets on many examples, making the 79090 especially desirable among collectors seeking vintage Rolex quality paired with Tudor's distinctive identity. Today, the blue 79090 is widely regarded as one of the finest neo-vintage dive watches ever produced and a cornerstone of Tudor's storied Submariner lineage.

Powering the 79090 is the reliable ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, chosen for its proven durability, ease of servicing, and dependable timekeeping. The stainless steel case offers 200 meters of water resistance and is fitted with a bidirectional dive bezel, screw-down crown, and the iconic Oyster bracelet with Fliplock clasp, making it every bit the professional dive watch it was intended to be. As the final acrylic-crystal Submariner before Tudor transitioned to sapphire crystals and eventually discontinued the Submariner line in 1999, the 79090 occupies a unique place in the brand's history. Its combination of vintage charm, robust construction, and strong historical connection to Rolex has made the 1995 Blue 79090 one of the most collectible Tudor references on the market, prized by enthusiasts for its authenticity, wearability, and enduring investment appeal.
