Tudor Prince Oysterdate Ranger ref 7970 /0
type: Product
description: The origins of the Tudor Ranger trace back to 1929, when Hans Wilsdorf first registered the "Ranger" name. Long before it became a model in its own right, Tudor used the designation on a handful of watches during the 1940s to evoke a sense of adventure and exploration. The Ranger's true inspiration, however, came from the historic British North Greenland Expedition of 1952–1954. Members of the expedition wore Tudor Oyster Prince watches, which endured temperatures as low as -50°F (-46°C) in some of the harshest Arctic conditions imaginable. Their outstanding performance helped establish Tudor's reputation for producing robust and dependable tool watches. Building on the success of the expedition, Tudor introduced the first dedicated Ranger in 1963 with reference 7995. Its clean, highly legible dial and rugged Oyster case perfectly embodied the brand's philosophy of creating reliable watches built for adventure. Presented here is reference 7970/0, featuring a beautifully preserved 34mm Oyster case with a smooth bezel and its original riveted Rolex Oyster bracelet. The bracelet remains in equally fine condition, fitted with 67 end links and a clasp stamped 4/68. The dial features the Tudor shield logo, a date display at 3 o'clock, and the iconic 6-9-12 Arabic numerals that have become synonymous with the Ranger. Completing the look are the signature arrow hour hand and paddle-style minute hand—details that make the Ranger instantly recognizable. The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker and is ready for many more years of adventure. Rarer than most people realize, full of character, and still flying under the radar, the Ranger remains one of the most rewarding vintage Tudor references to own. Get in touch.
