Tudor's diving watch, with a Rolex case, supplied to the navies of several countries.

The Tudor Submariner came out in 1954 and cost less than a Rolex. The French navy used the watch for decades, and the US Navy bought it too. The snowflake hands became a Tudor hallmark.

Materials: Stainless steel; self-winding movement

Manufacture: Made in Geneva with a case and bracelet from Rolex and a bought-in movement.

Hands shaped like snowflakes, from 1969.

The rotating bezel and the screw-down crown.
