This Tudor Prince Oysterdate, reference 74033, is a 34 mm two-tone automatic date watch from 1995–1996, distinguished by its champagne linen dial.
Why It’s Special
The Prince Oysterdate shares the durable, practical Oyster-case formula associated with Tudor’s long Rolex relationship, while the linen dial gives this example a character distinctly its own. Its compact 34 mm proportions and two-tone construction place it firmly in the versatile everyday-watch tradition of the mid-1990s.
Condition
Very good vintage condition. The case retains sharp lines with light marks near the lugs, while the fluted bezel remains crisp. Bracelet shows mild stretch and gentle rubbing to a few gold centre links, consistent with wear, and has been ultrasonically cleaned for presentation. The linen dial has aged to a soft, even warmth with clear printing and clean hands.
Performance
Running accurately at around –17 seconds per day, within tolerance for a watch of this age and calibre.
