Tudor Submariner Snowflake Steel Blue Dial Yellow Patina 1976

Tudor Submariner “Snowflake” Ref. 9411/0 – Blue Dial Vintage Diver

Tudor, a brand founded by Hans Wilsdorf (the founder of Rolex), was created to offer the same quality and dependability as Rolex watches, but at a more approachable price point. Over the decades, Tudor built a reputation for rugged tool watches, particularly among military and professional divers.

The Tudor Submariner 9411/0, often referred to as the “Snowflake” due to its distinctive square hour markers and unique hand set, was introduced in the 1970s. It was originally issued to various military forces, including the French Marine Nationale, making it a significant model in Tudor’s diving legacy. This reference used the robust ETA movement and was positioned as a serious alternative to the Rolex Submariner, sharing many of the same case components.

The 9411/0 in blue, especially in original condition with its matching dial and insert, is highly sought after today by collectors for its historical value, aesthetics, and durable build.

Key Details To Consider

This Tudor Submariner Ref. 9411/0 is a well-preserved example of the iconic “Snowflake” diver, presented here in very nice all-original condition. The stainless steel case was polished in the past but retains thick lugs and crisp edges, preserving the strong profile collectors look for.

The original blue dial is free of scratches or blemishes and has developed an attractive yellow patina across the hour markers and hands, which still respond under UV light. The matching blue bezel insert is in excellent condition, complete with its original tritium pearl pip.

All case numbers are fully legible and intact. The watch is fitted on a hand-made 20/16mm brown suede leather strap, paired with a Rolex steel pin buckle.

The movement was serviced by the previous owner and has been tested to run accurately, making it a reliable vintage daily companion. A sharp and honest Tudor diver that blends vintage charm with everyday wearability.
