First dive watch Tudor ever cast in solid yellow gold, this piece turned a rugged tool icon into pure luxury. It hands the collector something the steel crowd will never stumble on in a boutique, a grail hiding in plain sight. Made for the one who already owns the classics and now wants what nobody else at the table is wearing.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a domed sapphire crystal, the matte green dial deepens toward golden green as the light travels across it. Framed by an open sapphire caseback, the rotor sweeps into full view, the kind of theatre most divers keep sealed shut. Draped across the wrist in dark brown alligator with cream stitching, the strap carries an old-money ease and closes on an 18K gold pin buckle.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and dive timing. A screw-down crown sits at 3 o’clock on the right flank, so unscrew it first to bring the watch to life. With the crown loose and pushed in, a few turns wind the self-winding movement, feeding a weekend-proof 70 hour reserve and keeping it water resistant to 200 metres. Draw the crown out to move the hands and set the time, then screw it back down tight. The 18K gold bezel, ringed with a matt green anodised insert, tracks elapsed minutes underwater and turns one direction only, a safety measure that never lets a dive read short.

Comes as a full set, double boxed with the guarantee card, guarantee booklet, user manual, and an additional green fabric strap.

A rugged icon turned quiet trophy, this one lands on the grail lists of the people who notice these things first. It rewards the collector who prefers to arrive without announcement and still leave the room certain of what they saw. Few pieces carry that much presence while asking for so little attention.
