This vintage 1960s Tudor Oysterdate perfectly captures the era when Tudor, under Rolex’s stewardship, produced some of its most enduring and collectible timepieces. Housed in a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case with a screw-down Rolex-signed crown and Rolex-stamped caseback, this watch exemplifies the rugged reliability and timeless elegance that defined both brands during this golden period.
The silver sunburst dial features the beloved Tudor “small rose” logo — a hallmark of early Tudor design before the introduction of the shield emblem. The classic layout is enhanced by a framed date window with a bubble-style magnifier, offering both function and charm. The watch’s drilled lug holes and modest case size give it a distinctly vintage character while maintaining versatile wearability for modern wrists.
Inside ticks a reliable Swiss automatic movement, often based on modified ETA calibers, refined and regulated under Rolex’s quality control. Like other Oyster models of the time, it benefits from the waterproof case technology originally pioneered by Rolex, a key feature that made Tudor a more accessible alternative without compromising durability or craftsmanship.
With its clean lines, subtle patina, and iconic rose branding, this Tudor Oysterdate is more than just a timepiece, it’s a tangible piece of Rolex and Tudor’s intertwined heritage. A wonderful example of mid-century Swiss precision, this watch is running well by vintage standards and comes fitted with a new strap, ready to wear and enjoy.
