Tudor reference 9401/0 and its sister reference 9411/0 featuring a date, were launched simultaneously in 1975 replacing the references 7016/0 and 7021/0. The now well established snowflake hands complement the dial that was available either in blue or black, like the bezel. This diver's watch, waterproof to 200m, like its predecessor, was soon to be noticed by armies around the world and it was no surprise that the French Navy used the new reference to equip their troops.
In production for almost 10 years, the MN version of the reference 9401/0 is amongst the most sought after Tudor watches. Finding one in good condition that can prove its military provenance is a real treat and doesn’t appear very often. The present example, from the most attractive “Blue Snowflake” version is further accompanied by a copy of the military ledger that mentions the case number of the watch, 866’142, along with the name of the submarine on which it was used. The Doris, was a Daphné-class French submarine that cruised the seas between 1964 and 1994. The origin and excellent condition of this military watch along with its confirmed provenance makes it a great watch to be added to any collection and its robustness and accuracy makes it the perfect companion to enjoy on a daily basis.
