Rolex Submariner 1680

As the first Submariner reference to introduce a date display, the Rolex 1680 remains one of the most iconic vintage dive watches ever produced by Rolex.

The First Date Submariner Reference

The Rolex Submariner 1680 occupies a legendary position in the history of luxury sports watches as the first Submariner model to feature a date complication with Cyclops magnification. Produced throughout the late vintage Rolex era, this reference showcases classic acrylic crystal construction, beautifully aged tritium lume, and highly collectible dial variations including the famous Red Submariner configurations. Revered for its historical importance and timeless vintage character, the 1680 remains a cornerstone piece within serious Rolex collections.
