2000s Tudor Prince Date Hydronaut Blue Dial 41mm 89190P

Here we have a rare classic 2000s Tudor Prince Date Hydronaut Blue Dial 89190P. The sporty Hydronaut, with its aggressive profile, was introduced in 1998 and remained in production until 2012, when the Tudor Black Bay replaced it. A 41mm brushed and polished stainless steel case. Its sporty aesthetic has chamfered flanks leading to thick drilled lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a case thickness of 11mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown protected by crown guards that are part of the case for strength. The unidirectional bezel has deep knurling for grip, a silver dive insert, and raised batons in between, with black markings; the first 15 minutes are highlighted. A bevel-edged sapphire crystal sits above a deep blue dial. An outer minute track surrounds applied thick baton indexes filled with lume, and an inverted triangle at 12 o'clock marks the hours; at 3 o’clock, we have a date window below a cyclops magnification on the crystal. Broad arrow and sword hands filled with lume are complemented by a sweeping second-hand tipped in lume. At 12 o’clock, we have the Tudor motif “Prince Date" underneath; at 6 o’clock, “200m, 660ft Hydronaut” completes this rugged sports dive watch. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back, “Tudor Prince Geneva” engraved, inside an Automatic ETA Cal. 2824-2, 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour. This workhorse movement features hand-winding, hacking seconds, and a quick-set date for your convenience. It comes paired with its 20mm brushed-and-polished Jubilee stainless steel bracelet, secured by a signed folding clasp and flip lock; it will fit wrists up to 7.1 inches. The watch comes with its Tudor presentation box.
