The Tudor Oyster Prince Ref. 7967 is one of the most charming and distinctive mid-century Tudors, defined by its instantly recognisable Tuxedo dial. With its black centre and brushed silver outer ring, the design echoes the elegance of 1960s menswear and has become closely associated with the aesthetic made famous in Mad Men.
Powered by the reliable Tudor Calibre 2461 automatic movement and housed in a 34mm steel Oyster case, this reference blends Rolex construction with Tudor’s trademark design language. The dial has developed a light, even patina over the last six decades, adding to the vintage character without compromising legibility or appeal.
This is a highly sought-after configuration within Tudor’s early Oyster Prince line and remains a standout choice for collectors who appreciate understated mid-century design.
