What is a Snowflake Submariner? | Vintage Tudor Submariner Ref. 7016

The Reference 7016 ushered in the second era of Tudor divers’ watches and saw the Tudor Submariner present a famous new face. Developed for the explicit needs of diving, it was characterized by a unique dial design featuring square hour markers and matching hands, known to collectors as “snowflakes”. This new design presented a famous new face that was immediately recognizable and significantly contributed to TUDOR’s brand identity.

This example is an early 7016/0 with an excellent thick case with the original chamfers present, and its original and rare “Swiss” only dial. The original bezel has faded to a dark grey and is missing its pearl. The hands have aged to a slightly lighter tone than the dial and the bracelet is a later Tudor replacement. All in, an exceptional example of a very collectible and wearable watch.
