Submariner watches epitomize the historic link between Rolex and the world of underwater exploration. Created in 1953, the Oyster Perpetual Submariner was the first divers’ wristwatch waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). In 1969, the Submariner Date was unveiled. The waterproofness of both models was later increased to 300 metres (1,000 feet). Thanks to their renowned robustness, functionality and aesthetics, they have become the benchmark for divers’ watches.
