Rolex Submariner 1680

Rolex Submariner Date 1680

We are proud to present this iconic Rolex Submariner Date for sale. The Rolex Submariner can easily be described as one of Rolex`s most famous designs and is considered one of the most popular diving watches ever created. When first launched back in the early 1950s, this was the first-ever watch to be water-resistant to 300m and set the standard for what a diving watch should be both in functionality and style. It wasn’t until 1967 that the Submariner got its now iconic date feature with the model reference 1680. This is a later version of that same watch without the red Submariner text. It comes set in a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case with a bi-rotational bezel (original black insert). The dial is a Mark I matte black dial featuring dot hour markers (non-luminous) and (new Rolex replacement) luminous hand set with a date feature at 3 o’clock. The dial is protected by an acrylic plexi-glass (called a top-hat because of its raised profile) and the watch is powered by the Rolex calibre 1570 automatic movement. The watch comes fitted on a (modern) tapered Oyster link bracelet with folding sports clasp. Originally from circa 1979 and in fine condition for its age, this Submariner comes with a Rolex green service pouch and a 12 month warranty from the Swiss Watch Company.
