Production Years:
The TUDOR Prince 94500 belongs to an earlier generation of TUDOR watches than the supplied 2016 date suggests. Reference 94500 is associated with the late 1970s and 1980s, placing it in a period when compact automatic watches formed an important part of TUDOR's catalogue. This also means that a 94500 encountered today should be treated as a vintage watch rather than as a recently discontinued Prince Date.
Dating an individual piece is best approached through its serial number, paperwork where available and the characteristics of the watch itself, because production information for references from this period is not as straightforward as it is for modern TUDOR models. Over the years, the 94500 appeared with different dial treatments, so the reference identifies the underlying model but does not tell you everything about the appearance of a particular watch.
Defining Features
There is no need for complication or some rare material in the case of the 94500 for it to be interesting and special. The 94500 is unique due to its simplicity. The stainless steel case is small, even by today's standards, while the dial positions the calendar window at 3 o'clock under the Cyclops lens, so that there is no need for a hand or a subdial for showing the date. Hour markers are applied on the dial, there are central seconds, and hands are rather slim. It could be that the precise marker and dial will differ from one specimen of the reference to another. There are silver, blue and other dials of the 94500 available on the second-hand market, which is why the color of the 94500 dial should be specified using the watch in question.
The case and bracelet are equally relevant when evaluating watches of this era. Years of consistent use may cause softening of edges in the case, marks on the steel components or bracelet wear, and previous refinishing can alter its appearance and condition. Such information should form a part of the analysis of vintage 94500 and should not necessarily be evaluated in the same manner as small wear on a modern watch. The period accurate crowns, bracelets, clasp, hands and dial components can also be factors in its evaluation.
About Tudor Prince Date 94500
A Prince 94500 is an example of the kind of mechanical watch made to keep up with normal day-to-day time keeping but without the emphasis on its mechanisms. This means that its automatic movement operates as the result of wrist movements, and its central hands tell the time, while the date can be seen at the side of the dial. The watch does not have any rotating bezel, chronograph mechanism, or GMT display.
The movement of the 94500 was created at a time when TUDOR relied on reliable Swiss automatic calibres produced by movement manufacturers and adapted for its watches. This fact distinguishes this watch significantly from today’s TUDOR models using the manufacture calibres and is also one of the reasons why a vintage Prince 94500 watch should not be referred to according to contemporary specifications for this model. When evaluating a specific watch, one needs to name the movement from this watch as well as it can become a part of the watch’s history due to decades of servicing.
Its dimensions also need to be viewed in the context of when the watch was made. A vintage Prince is noticeably smaller than a modern Black Bay, Pelagos or other contemporary sports model, but those compact proportions were entirely normal for this style of automatic watch. The 94500 therefore offers something quite different within BQ Watches' selection of pre owned TUDOR watches: it comes from an earlier period of the brand and retains the restrained proportions and uncomplicated date display associated with that era.

Why Choose BQ Watches for a Pre Owned TUDOR Prince 94500?
With a vintage 94500, age alone tells very little about whether one watch is preferable to another. A well preserved dial, appropriately aged hands, the shape of the case and the condition of the bracelet can be more informative than simply finding the earliest available production year. Replacement components and previous refinishing may also form part of a watch's history, so these details need to be considered together rather than judging the piece from a photograph of the dial alone.
BQ Watches can help you buy a Prince 94500 with attention given to the actual watch, its configuration and its present condition. If you already own the reference, the same details can be considered when establishing a valuation, particularly where original documentation, box or period accessories remain with the watch. A 94500 may also be considered as part of an exchange if you are changing the direction of your collection, while owners who decide to sell can have their individual watch assessed rather than applying a general figure to every piece carrying reference 94500.
