Description
When is a splash of red worth (much) more than its weight in gold? When it says SUBMARINER on the dial of a vintage Rolex Submariner reference 1680, that’s when. That splash of red on the dial makes the whole watch stand out. The first six years’ production of the steel 1680s have the red ‘Submariner’ while later production the word is in white. The Red Sub is much more collectable than the later all=white dials.
Original super mint condition case is stainless steel with dimensions of 40mm by 13.9mm thick. Crystal is plastic. Screw down “Trip Lock” crown is original and working smoothly. This case has its full metal – fat and even lugs with crisp “third edge” bevel. Original bezel has sharp serrations and the original insert has fat font and has slightly mellowed from its original black.
Original untouched and Crisp Mark 4 dial with tritium hour markers and hands. Of course, the highlight of the dial is the red “SUBMARINER”. Date at 3 o’clock.
Original movement is an automatic winding Rolex Caliber with 26 jewels and adjusted to five positions and temperature. This movement is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer. Movement is clean and running. As collectors know, this is the first Submariner to have the date feature.
Original folded link Oyster bracelet with 11 links.
This is an all around crisp, clean, MINT+ condition Red Submariner 1680 and is an excellent opportunity to own one of Rolex’s most treasured vintage sport watches.
