Rolex Submariner 1680

1978 Rolex Submariner (Ref. 1680) Mk. I Dial

The Rolex Submariner ref. 1680 is a stunning classic. First introduced in 1969, the ref. 1680 includes the date, unlike previous Submariners (ie, ref. 5512 and 5513). The Infamous Red Submariner is also a ref. 1680, which had the word 'Submariner' in red lettering, manufactured from 1969 to 1975. This watch is an example of what is referred to as the 'White Dial.' It is the first ref. 1680 with the word 'Submariner' in white lettering. The Rolex Submariner ref. 1680 is an all-around perfect sports watch that makes for stylish daily drivers that continue to rise in collectibility, and with a versatile aesthetic that works in both casual settings or dressed up with a suit.
