The commonly cited life of the Tudor Prince Date-Day 94613 ends around 1993, yet marketplace records include watches identified as 94613 and dated 1995 or later. That discrepancy is the point of the reference: the 94613 has a remarkably stable physical identity, but its chronology cannot be read from a catalog date alone. It is a two-tone, 36 mm Oyster-cased day-date, generally fitted with a fluted yellow-gold bezel and a day aperture at 12 o’clock, and its surviving examples are best understood through their individual case, dial, bracelet, and movement evidence.

The reference belongs to Tudor’s dress-oriented Prince Date-Day line rather than the sport-watch world where formal dial marks and lume eras often provide a tidy dating system. Examples are reported with champagne, white, blue, and other dial treatments, using either baton or Roman-numeral markers. Those choices establish configuration, not a secure sequence. A champagne baton dial can describe what is on the watch, but the available documentation does not establish that it belongs to one precise year or movement generation.

The movement creates a second independent dating question. Earlier documentation identifies ETA 2834-1, including a 1988/89 example and a 1992 auction-recorded watch, while later listings identify ETA 2834-2. No universal factory cutoff separates the two. The practical consequence is clear: a Tudor 94613 should be judged as an assembled historical object, not dated from one attractive feature. A later-dated example may reflect later manufacture, later sale, servicing, or uncertain listing practice. Its compact 36 mm case, 20 mm lugs, day-date display, and two-tone styling remain easy to recognize. Its exact place in time requires more care.

“The 94613 is easy to recognize and difficult to date, a stable two-tone design surrounded by an unstable paper trail.”

Production timeline

Tudor Prince Date-Day 94613 production years: c. 1983–c. 1993

The early date is an estimate rather than a Tudor archival release record. It is supported by catalog and dealer descriptions that place the reference in the early 1980s, while a documented 1988/89 example confirms that the two-tone 36 mm configuration was established by then. The case identity remains consistent: stainless steel and yellow gold, a fluted bezel, and the day-date layout. Some descriptions refer to 18-karat yellow gold, while collecting material also discusses plated bezel and center-link wear, so the exact metal treatment must be checked on the individual watch.

The movement evidence follows a different path. A 1988/89 example and a 1992 auction-recorded watch use ETA 2834-1. Later listings identify ETA 2834-2, but the record does not document when Tudor changed between them or whether every later example received the newer calibre. That makes the suffix a useful physical identifier, not a standalone date code. The reason for the apparent transition is not documented.

The commonly published endpoint of approximately 1993 is therefore narrower than the surviving listing record. Watches dated 1995 and later show that examples identified as 94613 existed after that point, but a sale date does not prove uninterrupted factory production. Taken together, the reference shows how much historical uncertainty can gather around a watch whose visible formula barely changed: one compact case, several independent dial choices, and two movement designations that cannot be forced into a simple timeline.

How to tell it apart

94613 against its neighbours

The 94613 sits between the earlier 38 mm Date-Day line and the later 762xx generation. The steel 76200 is the clearest later comparison: it frames what is distinctive about the two-tone 94613 without resolving the central dating problem, because the surrounding factory chronology remains incomplete.

Dial generations

Five dial generations across the run

The defining 94613 configuration pairs a stainless-steel Oyster case with yellow-gold elements, including the fluted bezel and center bracelet links in commonly described examples. Some records describe 18-karat yellow gold, while condition reports discuss plating loss, so the exact treatment is not safely universal. The case, crown, bracelet, and bezel should be inspected rather than assumed from the reference number.

Buying guide

What to check before buying a 94613

Buying a Tudor Prince Date-Day 94613 means separating a genuine reference from a genuinely original example. The reference number alone does not settle the production date, movement suffix, dial originality, or whether the yellow-gold elements are solid or plated. Later-dated listings make the individual case, movement, and documentation more important than a tidy catalog range.

Read the case, not just the date

Inspect the reference and serial engravings between the lugs, lug shape, caseback, crown, and bezel. Sharp geometry and legible markings are stronger evidence of an original case than a seller’s production claim.

Identify the movement

Request movement photographs and confirm whether the watch contains ETA 2834-1 or ETA 2834-2. The two calibres are documented on 94613 examples, but no universal changeover date is established.

Judge the dial as an object

Champagne, white, blue, baton, and Roman executions are documented. Check typography, dial texture, marker alignment, hand matching, date-wheel printing, and signs of refinishing rather than using color alone as a date code.

Check yellow-gold wear

Inspect the bezel edges and center links for loss of plating, uneven color, or replaced parts. Descriptions of 18-karat gold and plated components both occur in the record, so the individual execution matters.

Test both calendar quick-sets

The model is documented with quick-setting day and date functions. Confirm that both indications advance correctly and that the changeover is crisp, while remembering that running does not establish service history or movement health.

Verify the bracelet and service

Compare the two-tone Oyster-style bracelet, end links, clasp, and fit with the case. Ask for service invoices, movement photographs, and pressure-test information rather than accepting an unsupported claim of recent service.

Common questions about the 94613

The Tudor Prince Date-Day 94613 was produced from c. 1983 to c. 1993. Those are the commonly published dates, not a documented Tudor factory cutoff. Marketplace records include examples dated 1995 and later, so later watches require case, movement, and documentation checks.
