Founded in 1926 by Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf, Tudor was created to offer the reliability and quality associated with Rolex at a more accessible price point. Throughout the 1950s, Tudor developed a strong reputation for producing robust Oyster-cased watches powered by dependable Swiss movements. Many early Tudor Oyster models shared the same rugged waterproof case construction as their Rolex counterparts, making them highly desirable among collectors today.

What's on Offer

This attractive Tudor Oyster Ref. 7902 dates from the 1950s and represents the understated elegance that made Tudor such a respected name during the post-war era. Housed in a stainless steel Oyster case measuring 29mm, the watch offers classic proportions and timeless styling that remain highly wearable today.

The white dial features applied arrowhead hour markers, a prominent Arabic numeral at 12 o'clock and elegant hands. The clean, uncluttered layout is complemented by the desirable "Shock-Resisting" text above 6 o'clock, a detail often found on Tudor watches from this period. Together, these elements create a refined dress watch aesthetic that perfectly captures mid-century Swiss watchmaking.

Powering the watch is the automatic Tudor calibre 1182 movement with 17 jewels and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The self-winding movement provides everyday practicality while maintaining the charm and engineering expected from a vintage Tudor.

The watch is presented on classic leather strap which perfectly complements  the classic silver-toned dial and polished steel case.

Presented in very good vintage condition, this Tudor Oyster retains excellent character throughout. The dial displays an attractive aged appearance with even patination that enhances its period charm. The stainless steel Oyster case remains strong with well-defined lines and shows honest signs of wear consistent with age and use. The crystal remains clear and the watch presents exceptionally well on the wrist. Overall, this is a highly appealing example of a 1950s Tudor Oyster that balances originality, condition and everyday wearability.
