Model: Tudor Prince Date+Day Ref. 76214 (Linen Dial, 18K White Gold Fluted Bezel)
Overview:
The Tudor Prince Date+Day Ref. 76214 is a classic neo-vintage Tudor distinguished by its full day display, traditional 36mm proportions and unmistakable Oyster-inspired architecture. This particular example features the desirable linen-textured dial paired with an 18-karat white gold fluted bezel, giving the watch considerably more visual character than the conventional smooth-dial variants.
The fine vertical and horizontal texture of the linen dial interacts subtly with changing light, providing depth while retaining the restrained appearance expected of a traditional Prince Date+Day.
History:
The Prince collection formed an important part of Tudor's catalogue for decades and represents an era when the brand maintained particularly close aesthetic ties to Rolex. The Prince Date+Day combined this familiar design language with Tudor's own approach to the classic day-date complication, displaying the full day of the week at 12 o'clock and the date beneath a Cyclops magnifier at 3 o'clock.
The Ref. 76214 was offered in numerous dial configurations throughout its production. Among these, textured dials such as the linen variant have become particularly interesting to collectors, providing a distinctly vintage aesthetic when combined with the reference's 18K white gold fluted bezel.

Closing Note:

The linen dial makes this particular configuration considerably more distinctive, adding texture and depth without departing from the understated character of the Prince collection.
Together, the linen dial, white gold fluted bezel and classic Oyster-inspired case create a distinctly vintage aesthetic and make this an especially attractive variation of the Ref. 76214.
