拍品專文

In the late 1950s, Tudor introduced dive watches into their catalogs following the explosion of interest in diving after the Second World War. The war made the powers of the world identify the significance of underwater warfare and innovation such as the opportunity to have elite divers target, approach, and depart key enemy locations without detection.

The following Tudor reference 7016/0 is very similar to its counterpart Rolex references 5512 and 5513 and features a matte black dial with "Mercedes" hands. The watch feature its original beveling on the lugs and is fitted in a Rolex case with a Rolex C+I bracelet made for the American market.

The Original Owner: A Former Navy E.O.D. Diver
This incredible example was indeed a professional tool of a former Navy E.O.D. diver whose career took him all over the world. In the summer of 1967 while aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, he befriended a pair of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician (E.O.D.) divers who introduced him scuba diving. Shortly after, he applied to the program and after nearly a year of training, the original owner of this piece spent the next twenty years of his career rising in the ranks and becoming a Master E.O.D technician. During that time, he received top secret clearance, he was qualified to disarm any explosive ordinance such as a nuclear explosive, and achieved many other impressive qualifications. In his own words, his career brought him to some "very exotic places, some that I would not like to return to."
