Submariner

About the Rolex Submariner

The reliable and robust Rolex Submariner gained notoriety among divers as the first wristwatch waterproof to a depth of 100 meters. It has set the standard ever since. The Rolex Submariner is the quintessential dive watch. Referred to as the "Sub" throughout the watch collector community, the Submariner set the standard for what we can expect from a luxury diver—rotating bezel, impressive luminescence, immediate legibility, and water resistance.

The Submariner is a focal point of desire among The 1916 Company's Rolex Certified Pre-Owned collection, and it can be a one-watch collection in its own right. The classic design allows the watch to span all levels of attire, from jeans and a t-shirt to suit and tie. Considering the versatility of the Submariner and the inherent durability in its design from the inside out, it is no wonder why this is one of Rolex's most popular models.
