Produced throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, it maintains the classic proportions and tool-watch functionality that defined the early Submariner line. This example showcases a naturally faded “ghost” bezel, a desirable trait among collectors that highlights the watch’s age and character. Powered by the Caliber 1570 and fitted with an acrylic crystal and tritium dial, the 1680 remains a highly collectible vintage Submariner with strong historical significance.
