One of the most sought after watches - The Rolex Submariner


In the 20th (and 21st century), the Rolex Submariner is arguably the most recognized, admired, and surreptitiously produced wristwatch. 

 Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner watch is the pioneering timepiece specifically engineered for scuba diving and water sports activities. Believe it or not, this Rolex watch was not the first water-resistant watch, and it wasn’t even Rolex’s first water-resistant watch. At that time, the watch market already has its’ giant Patek Philippe and Jaeger-LeCoultre as though they were Rolls Royce and Aston Martin. What the market needed was however a Volkswagen, a cheery and reliable product for the masses, and that was what Wilsdorf provided.

The Rolex Submariner was designed to be water resistant at 100 meters or 330 feet. Since then, the legendary watch has evolved through successive innovations to maintain its consistent and reliable performance in water depths of up to 300 meters or 1000 feet. The Submariner watch attained a remarkable status among luxurious watch collectors and avid scuba divers. This high-end wristwatch is sophisticatedly designed and superbly constructed. With its eye-catching design and neutral tones, the watch is simply marvelous. It comes with a large and great looking dial that will surely catch anyone’s attention. Even though it was designed as a scuba diver’s watch, this accessory can also be an everyday wear. It can be a great accessory to any formal and classy events.
