Why the Submariner is iconic
Introduced in 1953, the Submariner was among the first watches waterproof to 100 metres and established the template for the modern dive watch. Its rotating bezel, luminous dial and Oyster case have been refined but never fundamentally changed.

Before you buy
Buying a pre-owned Rolex Submariner — FAQs
What is the difference between the Submariner and Submariner Date?
The Submariner Date adds a date window with a Cyclops magnifier, while the no-date version keeps a cleaner, symmetrical dial preferred by many purists.
Are older Submariners with aluminium bezels worth buying?
Yes, earlier aluminium-bezel references such as the 16610 have their own appeal and can be more affordable, though ceramic bezels are more scratch-resistant.
Can I actually dive with a pre-owned Submariner?
Only after a professional pressure test confirms the seals and water resistance, which is essential on any pre-owned watch before water use.
