Help to identify this vintage Tudor reference 7916

i'd say it's circa 1960. If you can get the case open, you could look at the movement and see what it is- maybe an early eta automatic w/ date. Also look for a SN between the lugs, that might help in pin pointing the date a little closer. Oyster means it's WR of course, and the Swiss at the bottom of the dial may mean prior to 1963 possibly, but the hands also indicate that anyway. Around 1963, Rolex started using the straight hands and hour markers.

You can run thru ebay, there's some similar models, like a 7966 and there was one from 1963 which had a TSwissT dial denoting the use of tritium which started in '63. Your caseback may be dated on the inside, another reason to open it.
