Description

The Rolex Submariner is an icon. It's the first real dive watch. Rolex keeps improving it in small ways, and it's now a very mature product in that it is perfect for its intended use. It wasn't always so, and that is what makes transitional models so interesting.

Stainless steel case measures 40mm in diameter and is approx 12.7mm thick. This watch features its original bezel and screw down Trip Lock crown and is the first reference to have a sapphire crystal on a Submariner

Black dial is with luminous hour markers and original Mercedes hour hand with luminous inserts. Dare window featured at the 3 o’clock position. 

The Submariner 16800 introduced the caliber 3035 with quick set date, a minor engineering modification but a great convenience to the owner. The caliber 3035 is with a Breguet spring with free sprung balance, 27 jewels and adjusted to 5 positions and temperature and is a C.O.S.C. chronometer. This watch is water resistant to 300 meters/1000 feet.


Overall condition is excellent.
