The 40mm stainless steel case, combined with an acrylic crystal, retains the classic aesthetics of the original Submariners. The matte black dial, with tritium lume hour markers and hands, has aged beautifully over time, often developing a desirable patina. The red "Submariner" text (on earlier versions) makes certain examples particularly collectible. Powered by the Rolex caliber 1575 automatic movement, it offers precision and reliability. The watch is completed with an Oyster bracelet, ensuring durability and comfort. Water-resistant to 200 meters, the 1680 Submariner remains one of the most iconic vintage Rolex divers.
