Description

The Submariner 16610 has had a very long production run from the late 80's until 2010. It is one of the most popular Submariners of that time and with a Sapphire crystal, the quickset date and fully waterproof case it very much classifies as a 'contemporary' vintage watch.  This particular piece bears a Tritium dial with hands and this is where we say its the best of both worlds. We would classify this watch as NEO-Vintage.condition.

The Rolex Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is without a doubt one of the most successful Rolex models in history. Not only because it more than aptly served its purpose as diver’s watch, although I am pretty sure only a small number of Submariners has ever seen a spat of water. Its appearance in several James Bond movies certainly helped as well. If you omit functionality and marketing, the Submariner success is mainly due to its elegance as a timeless dress watch. It’s just one of those watches you keep looking at, regardless of wanting to know the time of day. The Submariner was launched in 1953 and officially presented at the Basel Fair in 1954.
