Lot Essay

Introduced in 1958, the Tudor “Big Crown” Reference 7924 is one of the rarest sport watches produced by Tudor. Made only in 1958 and 1959 with serial numbers ranging from 275XXX to 295XXX, Reference 7924 is an exceptionally rare watch and a grail among vintage watch collectors worldwide.

Reference 7924 was Tudor’s most capable dive watch in the late 1950’s thank to its thick, robust, stainless steel case and oversized 8mm crown. Rated to 200 meters/660 feet, the 7924 was the brand’s offering alongside Rolex Reference 6538 and Reference 5510. In fact, aside from the movement and dial, Tudor Reference 7924 is identical to its iconic Rolex “Big Crown” brothers. The present lot reference, is the only vintage big crown produced in series by Tudor. It is also the last “No Crown Guard” 200 meter depth rated dive watch made by the brand.
