Description
This particular example is one of the rarest and most desirable versions, preserved in spectacular condition. The glossy dial is immaculate and is the rare and desirable “four-line” version showing the text “Officially Certified Chronometer” below the “200m = 660ft” depth rating and “SUBMARINER” text. Furthermore, this example features its original and extremely rare aluminum bezel insert with red triangle and no hash marks between 0 and 15 minutes. These inserts are found only on Submariners with cases produced in the 3rd quarter of 1957 across the 306,XXX to 307,XXX serial numbers. It has an automatic chronometer-certified movement (caliber 1030 made by Rolex). The exceptionally crisp case measures in at approximately 38mm in diameter.
