Description

Age: 1950s

Maker: Tudor

Case: Stainless steel case appears to have been polished, but retains all of its signature contours.  Top of case contains reference numbers 7926.  Bottom of case marked STAINLESS/STEEL 41921**

Crown: Twin, unsigned crowns.  The top crown sets the alarm mechanism and winds the alarm mainspring, cleverly separated from the time-keeping mainspring, which is wound and set using the bottom crown.

Dial: Original, factory finished dial is a real beauty with nice patina.  Signed  “Swiss” at 6 O’Clock.  Original hands have not been re-lumed.  Note that this piece contains the correct, short arrow hand in red, which indicates the alarm time.

Crystal: Acrylic crystal recently installed

Movement: Manual winding A. Schild 1475 badged and adjusted for Tudor.  You’ll notice the signature Rolex/Tudor shock protection.  Tudor took the AS 1475, a robust and popular alarm movement for the period, and upgraded both its finish and function.  It is signed regulated in two positions, a designation that speaks to Tudor and Rolex’s legendary requirements for precision.

My master watchmaker has performed a full inspection and servicing on this watch. The watch was completely disassembled, the appropriate parts were cleaned in the ultrasonic and then oiled using the finest quality Swiss Moebius oils. The mainspring was replaced.  It was regulated and is keeping good time.

This piece is not water resistant, please take care to keep it dry.

Dimensions: 42mm x 34.5 mm without crown; 36mm with crown. 19mm strap.

Band:  Pictured on a black, genuine crocodile strap.
