About this reference
The Tudor Submariner reference 9401, also designated as 9401/0, was produced from approximately 1975 through the 1980s. Collectors prioritize this reference for its use of the ETA caliber 2776, a non-date automatic movement, and its association with the "Snowflake" dial and handset configuration. The model features a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case with a friction-fit bidirectional bezel and a screw-down crown. It is historically significant due to its long-term issuance to the French Marine Nationale (MN), with many examples featuring military engravings on the caseback. On the secondary market, standard civilian versions typically range from $12,000 to $20,000, while confirmed military-issued examples can exceed $35,000. A notable production variant is the transition from the "Snowflake" aesthetic to triangular hour markers and Mercedes hands in the mid-1980s, which occurred shortly before the reference was succeeded by the 79090.
