Notes

The watch of choice of the French Navy (Marine Nationale), Tudor had been collaborating with their divers from as early as 1958 until the late 1980s. Their Submariners were characterized by large luminous hands, military markings on the case back, and no wear between the lugs since they were never supplied on bracelets.
