TUDOR SUBMARINER
U.S. NAVY SEALS
APOLLO 11 SPLASHDOWN RECOVERY
This is a story I have long been aware of, so it's nice to see Tudor finally share it publicly. I first became aware of this history when I was doing research on the U.S. NAVY SEALAB program many years ago. Tudor, which is a brand that has been owned by Rolex for many, many decades, just came out with this super-cool documentary, about U.S. Navy Seals who were issued Tudor Submariner models, and who they wore then during "Splashdown" for the NASA Apollo 11 Program.
More than half a century ago, mankind returned from the moon and landed in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Today, in “Splashdown”, we tell the little-known story of the Navy UDT-SEAL frogmen - and their issued TUDOR watches - who recovered the astronauts throughout the space program in the 1960s and '70s.
