This exceptional 1997 Tudor Prince Date Chronograph, reference 79260, is a stunning example of Tudor’s highly collectible vintage chronographs, featuring a classic stainless steel case and an incredibly attractive black dial with contrasting white subdials. This sought after reverse panda configuration, paired with the black tachymeter bezel, gives the watch an unmistakable resemblance to the iconic Rolex Daytona, offering much of the same sporty aesthetic and wrist presence at a fraction of the price! 

The beautifully balanced dial, screw down chronograph pushers and robust automatic movement make this a wonderful combination of vintage character and everyday practicality. 

With Tudor’s historic connection to Rolex and the growing appreciation for its early chronographs among collectors, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a distinctive and increasingly desirable vintage sports watch without the substantial premium associated with its Rolex counterpart.
