The Submariner 1680 is one of the most beloved vintage Submariners and was the first Submariner with a date display. This example from 1979 features a 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case, a classic black bezel, and the characteristic black dial with a date window at 3 o'clock. The plexiglass with cyclops magnifying lens contributes to its recognizable vintage appearance. This watch comes with the original box, making it extra special for collectors. The automatic caliber 1575 movement delivers reliable performance and highlights the high-quality craftsmanship for which Rolex is known. A unique piece of watch history, it has now become one of the absolute classics.
