Tudor 7909 oyster prince from 1977 on folded oyster TAUPE dial

1977 Tudor Oyster 7909

Grey/Taupe Dial | Original Folded Oyster Bracelet | Fully Serviced | 24-Month Warranty

Offered here is a 1977 Tudor Oyster 7909 — a reference that sits quietly within the lineage of Tudor’s early hand-wound Oyster models, but carries all the charm and integrity of its better-known Rolex counterparts.

The 7909 was produced in the mid- to late-1970s as part of Tudor’s continued exploration of refined, manually-wound Oyster cases. While Rolex was rapidly evolving toward automatic and sportier profiles, Tudor retained a more restrained elegance in this reference, giving collectors today an honest window into the classic tool-watch era — with just a hint of dress sensibility.

This particular example, serial 87XXXX, dates to 1977 and features a rare grey/taupe sunburst dial that plays subtly between shades depending on the light — an unusual and highly attractive variant that has aged with great character. The 34mm stainless steel case retains strong factory lines and is fitted to its original Rolex-signed folded Oyster bracelet, which remains tight with minimal stretch.

The movement has been freshly serviced in July 2025 and comes with a transferable 24-month mechanical warranty. We’ve left the case unpolished, preserving its original presence and patina — but professional polishing is available post-purchase at no charge, should the buyer prefer a refreshed finish.

A perfect piece for those who appreciate the undercurrent of Rolex heritage within Tudor’s more understated designs — wearable, reliable, and increasingly difficult to find in original, complete condition.
