1980s Tudor Prince Oysterdate Submariner Print Advertisement — Original Tourneau Watch Ad
Approximately 5 x 10.5 inches.
This vintage 1980s Tudor Prince Oysterdate Submariner magazine advertisement captures the golden era of Swiss dive watch marketing, presented through the prestigious Tourneau Corner retail chain across New York, Florida, and California. The original print ad showcases the Submariner's iconic rotating bezel, Rolex Oyster case architecture, Triplock crown, and 660-foot water resistance — a serious tool watch at an accessible price point. As Rolex's sister brand, Tudor built a devoted following among collectors who appreciate genuine Swiss quality, making this collectible ad a compelling piece of vintage watch history. Priced from $1,025 to $1,425 in period dollars, this advertisement speaks directly to the serious horological enthusiast.
