Overview
The Tudor Submariner reference 9411/0 represents a mid-to-late 1970s expression of Tudor's long-running Submariner line, distinguished by its signature square "Snowflake" hour markers and matching broad-tipped Snowflake hands. Produced in both blue and black dial variants, the 40 mm stainless steel case gives the reference a purposeful, tool-watch presence consistent with the Submariner's diving heritage. Powering the watch is the ETA-based calibre 2784, a reliable movement that Tudor employed across several references of the period.
History
Tudor introduced the Snowflake aesthetic to its Submariner line in the early 1970s, a deliberate design departure that set Tudor divers apart from their Rolex siblings while reinforcing legibility under water. The 9411/0 sits within the later phase of Snowflake production, refined from earlier references and offered with the choice of blue or black dials that have since become among the most sought-after colour configurations in the series. Production of the reference spanned the second half of the 1970s and concluded around 1980, after which Tudor progressively moved toward new case and dial generations. Today the 9411/0 is regarded as a defining artefact of the Snowflake era, appreciated by collectors for its coherent design language and robust construction.
Notable points
- The square "Snowflake" hour markers and broad-tipped matching hands are the defining visual signature of this Submariner generation, engineered to maximise legibility in low-visibility diving conditions.
- Two dial variants were produced — blue and black — with the blue dial in particular attracting strong collector attention for its relative scarcity and striking appearance.
- The 40 mm stainless steel case follows the tool-watch ethos of the Submariner line, prioritising durability and water resistance over decorative flourish.
- Calibre 2784, an ETA-based movement, provides the timekeeping foundation — a pragmatic and dependable choice consistent with Tudor's positioning as a robust, accessible alternative within the Rolex group.
- The 9411/0 marks the mature, late-production phase of the Snowflake Submariner, making it a key reference point for collectors tracing the evolution of Tudor's diver catalogue through the 1970s.
