The Rolex Submariner, introduced in 1953, was the first diving watch water-resistant to 100 meters. Featuring a rotating 60-minute timing bezel and a dial with ample luminous material, the original Submariner was designed to provide divers with reliable timekeeping and legibility, even in the murkiest underwater conditions. While the initial model was crafted in stainless steel with a black bezel and dial, Rolex later expanded the Submariner line to include a date complication and various metal and color options. Though the specifications and features have improved over the past six decades, the fundamental design blueprint of the Submariner has remained remarkably consistent, making it an essential milestone for any serious watch collection, whether in its modern incarnation or one of its highly sought-after vintage examples a testament to Rolex's ability to create an enduring icon that has transcended its origins as a mere tool watch and evolved into a symbol of attainment and luxury.
