Here we have a Near NOS 1969 Tudor Prince Day/Date Jumbo 7017/0 with a 38mm Rolex Oyster case that curves over your wrist with tapered drilled lugs. First introduced in 1969, this was the first time we saw the Tudor shield, which replaced the Tudor Rose. The Prince Day/Date is also known as the President-watch and nicknamed “Jumbo” due to its large case diameter for the time, it was one of the largest in their Prince line of watches. Polished and brushed surfaces transition with crisp, well-defined lines, a fine bevelled edge leads the eyes towards a lug-to-lug length of 47mm, and a thickness of 11.5mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a Rolex signed screw-down crown. A polished bezel holds a domed plexiglass crystal above a sunburst slate grey dial. An outer minute track with Tritium pips precisely executed surrounds applied chamfer-edged baton indexes marking the hours, and at 12 o’clock, a Portuguese day crescent with a date window at 3 o’clock complete with a cyclops magnification, slender baton hands with a lume infill are complemented by a tapered sweeping seconds hand. Tudor Oyster Prince Date + Day is precisely printed with an applied Tudor shield at 12 o’clock, and “Rotor Self-Winding” printed at 6 o’clock completes this attractive, versatile timepiece. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back signed “Case by Rolex Original Oyster”, inside an automatic AS Cal. 1895, 25 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour, a quality Adolf Schild movement used by Girard Perregaux and Blancpain. The watch comes fitted on its 20mm vintage-style leather strap.
