Vintage Gents Tudor By Rolex Oyster Commander WW2 Era Watch.

Tudor Oyster Commander

Original Caliber 59 Movement

29mm Size

Clean, clear and tight fitted acrylic glass.

Original winding crown with “oyster patent”, screws down tight. This and newly added rubber gasket to case back, all means this watch is to some degree water resistant (does not mean you should go swimming wearing it!)

Watch is running and keeps very good time, movement is in very good condition, after regular servicing and upkeep (should be continued for regular use/wearing by the buyer).

Dial in restored condition, luminescent hands, small Rose.

Presented on a lovely genuine tan Hirsch strap.

Overall this is a really very nice 80+ year old piece of watch history that is very wearable today.

Happy bidding. More watch listings at good prices coming soon.

Wikipedia on early Tudor Oysters:

The Tudor trademark was registered in 1926 by Swiss watchmaking company Veuve de Philippe Hüther on behalf of Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex watches. In 1936, Wilsdorf took it over and went on to found the company Montres Tudor SA in 1946.

Tudor's purpose was to offer a more affordable watch than Rolex while maintaining Rolex-like quality. Tudor watches were originally equipped with off-the-shelf movements paired with Rolex cases and bracelets, allowing Tudor to provide reliability and quality while achieving its price goals.

Tudor debuted its Oyster collection in the mid-forties, featuring a waterproof Oyster case previously exclusive to Rolex.
