Why This Watch Matters Want a Submariner but don’t want a Rolex? Try this Tudor Submariner with desirable Snowflake hand and bright blue dial and bezel. You won’t be disappointed. The Full Story The reference 94110 was not the first Tudor to sport the Snowflake handset, but it is an excellent example of the difference the handset adds when compared with its contemporary, the Rolex Submariner Date reference 1680. The square indexes are unique to Tudor and match the unusual design of the hands quite well, and the blue dial and bezel could not be found in the contemporary Rolex. Those might sound like minor aesthetic differences, but all together they make this Tudor Submariner an incredibly good-looking diver that will always earn you a smile and nod from fellow watch enthusiasts.

There are some noticeable scratches on the lugs, but, after all, this is a tool watch. Additionally, the bracelet shows some wear and is slightly stretched out. The dial is beautiful and uniform; the lume on the indexes and handset have faded to a lovely yellow color, but the handset appears to be slightly more aged than the markers. Note that the blue bezel is a replacement part, hence the lighter lume dot there. Overall, this is a striking example of a less common Submariner.
