Description
Launched in 1953, the Submariner was the first dive watch to be water resistant to a depth of 100 meters. With this diver’s watch par excellence, Rolex made the second major breakthrough in water resistance after inventing the Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch in 1926. The Submariner marked a historic turning point in the history of watchmaking and became the absolute reference among diving watches. Today, the Submariner is waterproof to a depth of 300 meters.
