Rolex Submariner Date "Red" Mk2 Meters First - 22.000€

The Rolex Submariner is probably the most legendary of all diving watches. First released in 1953, it was the first wristwatch to be water-resistant to 100 metres, and today to 300 metres. Since its creation, its major features, such as the graduated rotating bezel, the luminescent display and the large hands and indexes, have made it the inspiration for the long line of Rolex diving watches.
 

The 1680 reference is the first Submariner version with a date function. Its plexiglass crystal is thick and elegantly protrudes from the case, giving it its unique look and nicknamed "Chimney glass". The Submariner's rotating bezel is a key element for the functionality of the watch. Its 60-minute graduation allows divers to precisely measure their immersion time.
 

This version is one of the first Submariner Date, which feature the "Submariner" writing in red, making it one of the most coveted versions in the vintage Submariner world.
