Most prominently, the 1680 was the first Submariner to feature a date complication, paired with the iconic cyclops magnifier, setting a new standard for functionality among professional dive watches. Housed in a robust 40mm stainless steel case with classic proportions, it delivers a substantial tool-watch presence while retaining versatility for everyday wear. Collectors value the 1680 for its use of the revered Rolex Caliber 1575 automatic movement, famed for its reliability and period-correct finishing. The reference is fitted with the heavy-duty 93150 Oyster bracelet, reflecting the brand’s consistent commitment to durability and iconic design. Notably, this execution features the highly collectible matte black dial with bold tritium hour markers, often exhibiting a desirable patina over decades. With a 200-meter depth rating and solid construction, the 1680 bridges vintage charm with enduring underwater capability. Its role as the transitional model between early Submariner heritage and modern features makes it a cornerstone in any serious Rolex or tool-watch collection. As the last of the acrylic crystal Submariners, it stands out for both its history and its visual warmth on the wrist. (Circa. 1978).
