About this reference
The Tudor Ranger reference 7966 was produced during the 1960s, featuring a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case and an automatic ETA-based caliber 2484 movement with a date complication. Collectors target this reference for its specific tool-watch aesthetic, characterized by a matte black "smiley" dial, Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9, and a unique shovel-shaped hour hand. Because many standard Oyster Prince models were later modified with counterfeit Ranger dials, authentic examples with verified provenance are rare. On the secondary market, prices typically range from $4,000 to $9,000 depending on the presence of the original folded-link bracelet and dial condition. A notable production detail is the "Red Ranger" variant, which features the model name printed in red; however, these are frequently scrutinized by experts due to the high prevalence of aftermarket reproductions in the vintage market.
