Tudor – Prince Date “Mini-Sub” 73190 – Menn – 1990-1999

The Tudor Prince Date “Mini-Sub” (ref. 73190) is a compact and elegant vintage dive watch of 34 mm, from the era when Tudor offered its Submariner in four sizes. A sought-after model, and increasingly rare to find in this complete condition. The watch shares its Oyster case, screw-down crown and Submariner DNA directly with Rolex — the case even carries the engraving “CASE BY ROLEX”.

This example is in near-mint condition: a crisp white dial with luminous indexes and mercedes hands, a clean steel unidirectional rotating bezel and a date window at 3 o’clock. The case and bracelet show barely any signs of wear. The watch was professionally serviced in January 2023 and runs accurately.

Delivered complete with original box, Tudor warranty certificate, booklet and the original Tudor anchor pendant. The warranty card was stamped at the time by an official Tudor dealer in Milan, Italy — a lovely piece of provenance.
