Lot Essay
Delivered with an example of Tudor Anthology by Alberto Isnardi.
Reference 9401/0 was launched in the mid-1970s, fitted with the new calibre 2776 equipped with a hack feature, allowing to stop the second hand when the crown is pulled hence permitting the adjustment of the time to the exact second. The case back has a new design, the flat, satin-finished centre part surrounded by a polished ring with the "Original Oyster Case by Rolex Geneva" engraving. The dial does not feature the "rose" logo any longer but the Tudor shield. Early generations still have the "snowflake" dial layout with large cubic numerals. Between 1977 and 1978, a Rolex-style design with baton and dot numerals is introduced, as on the present watch. Both variants are fitted with the "snowflake" hands.
For a similar reference 9401/1 see Alberto Isnardi's Tudor Anthology, pp. 86-87.
