Rolex Submariner Date 1680 Full Steel MK2 1978 (Serviced)

Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 1680 Steel (1978)

Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is one of the most recognized and influential dive watches ever created. Designed for professional divers, it set the benchmark for underwater timepieces with its rotating bezel, luminous markers, and robust Oyster case. The Submariner 1680, launched in the late 1960s, marked an important evolution in the line as the first Submariner to feature a date function. Combining precision, durability, and an iconic design, the 1680 remains one of the most collectible and historically significant references in Rolex’s lineup.
