TUDOR Marine National Submariner 9401/0 Unpolished

This TUDOR Submariner reference 9401/0 is a very cool watch which was issued to the Marine Nationale. These MN TUDORs are highly admired and the most desired of the Marine Nationale watches. The watch dates to circa 1976-1977 with a 866,XXX serial. The case back has a 76 engraving.

The hands have been relumed. The case appears to be unpolished.

The watch was acquired by a collector via a European dealer. The serial number is in a well-known range of M.N. issued Subs. Per conversations with some Tudor/MN experts on this, it is likely that this particular watch came from a base in Brest instead of Toulon. Additionally, there are service stampings on the case back which identify a known M.N. watchmaker who serviced these pieces.

The watch does not come with box and papers. The service history is unknown, but it is running well. It recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar. It features a TrueDome D 19 crystal.

PRICE: $25,000 (Item SBUXYT3652)
