It’s known by collectors as a “Tuxedo” Oyster Prince, due to the black dial surrounded by a silver chapter ring. A recent appearance in the fifth season of AMC’s seminal 1960s drama \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e solidified the “tuxedo’s” position among horological royalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis particular tuxedo boasts a dial with a fine stippling of patina to the dial, particularly the outer chapter ring. A svelte 34mm case means that it would slip easily under the French cuff of a suit. Just imagine the sighs of delight when the cuff slips up and that rose on the dial is revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eRoger Sterling would be proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWhen Rolex launched the Tudor Oyster Prince in the 1950s, founder Hans Wilsdorf (who also founded Rolex) intended the watch to be worn by the everyman. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBefore the watch’s release, Tudor subjected six Oyster Princes to a “Trial of Destruction” in which a construction worker wore them—one after the other—while operating a jackhammer. After passing each trial, the Prince was heralded with ad campaigns showing construction workers and miners hard at work with watches proudly strapped to their wrists. The watch also saw real-world experience in the harsh environs of the Arctic, with the British North Greenland Expedition, drawing the “extreme admiration” of the men who wore them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIf that isn’t a ringing endorsement, we don’t know what is.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tudor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7994097696798,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Tudor_Oyster_Prince_34_Tuxedo_7950_AS02518_2.jpg?v=1524670069","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/tudor-oyster-prince-34-tuxedo-as02518","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
