Info: |
This is a fantastic and very original example of the very rare Tudor Ranger and even rarer to have the early bracelet with it. The dial is perfect with the original lume and hands, the case is virtually untouched with thick lugs and original winder and it has the correct hacking calibre 2484 movement and it probably has the original 7835 bracelet and end links. This watch has of course been fully serviced and is guaranteed for the next 12 months. THE TUDOR RANGER In 1960 the Rolex reference 7966 was also offered as the Tudor Ranger, a highly legible and waterproof field watch, similar in design to the Rolex Explorer. There were two versions of the Ranger; the Oysterdate like this example and the Oyster non date. The Oyster date is known to have used the following refs; 7992, 7934, 7996/0, 9050/0, 9052/0 The Oyster is known to have used the refs 7964, 7966, 7991/0, 9000/0, 9002/0, 90020 |
