Rolex has a long history of underwater exploration and has set the benchmark for diver’s watches. 1953 saw the launch of the Submariner, the first diver’s watch water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), and 1969 saw the launch of the Submariner Date, with a date function in addition to the time. The water resistance of both fake watches was later increased to 300 meters (1,000 feet). Thanks to their renowned ruggedness, they have transcended the depths of the ocean and have become the watches of choice for all kinds of sports and other activities.
As an underwater survival tool, the Submariner’s design was entirely dictated by the practical needs of divers. The watch has evolved technologically and has been given features that improve its overall functionality.
With its 41 mm Oyster case, unique dial with large luminous hour markers and hands, unidirectional rotating bezel and Oyster strap, the Submariner and Submariner Date are among the most recognizable watches ever made. In terms of strong visual recognition, the Cerachrom graduated bezel insert made of high-tech ceramic is the key to its functionality. Its 60-minute scale allows divers to accurately monitor dive time.
Designed to be both robust and comfortable, the Oyster bracelet is equipped with an Rolex Oyster Perpetual safety clasp to prevent accidental opening, and the Rolex Glidelock extension system allows fine adjustment of the bracelet length without the use of any tools.
The Submariner and Submariner Date are equipped with the calibers 3230 and 3235 respectively, self-winding mechanical movements entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Their construction, manufacturing and innovative features give them a unique level of precision and reliability. The power reserve of both movements is extended to approximately 70 hours.
The Submariner was created specifically for underwater exploration and diving. When it first emerged from the Rolex workshops, the watch immediately found favor with many deep-sea professionals who were asked to put it to the test.
