Craftsmanship & Movement

At the heart of this Tudor Submariner Date is a Swiss automatic mechanical movement designed for dependable everyday performance. The ETA 2824-2 calibre is widely respected for its reliability, serviceability and robust construction, making it well suited to a professional-style sports watch. With automatic winding, central hours, minutes, seconds and a practical date function, this movement gives the watch a balanced combination of vintage charm and mechanical usability.

Condition & Preparation

Before any watch is offered for sale by Imperial Time UK Ltd, it undergoes a careful inspection process. Our specialists review the case, bezel, dial, hands, crystal, bracelet or strap and clasp, as well as testing the winding, setting, date change and timekeeping performance. As a vintage watch, light signs of age and previous wear may be present, adding to its character while remaining consistent with careful ownership and use.

Provenance & Authenticity

Provenance and authenticity are central to collecting vintage Tudor watches. Imperial Time UK Ltd applies a structured process to verify the identity of each piece, cross-checking the reference, serial information, case profile, dial layout, bezel details, bracelet or strap configuration and movement specification against known manufacturer information. Where original box, papers, service records or accessories are present, these are reviewed and matched where appropriate to provide additional confidence for the next owner.
