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.

The
Submariner and Submariner Date models are equipped with calibre 3130 and
calibre 3135 respectively, self-winding mechanical movements entirely
developed and manufactured by Rolex. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the
3130 and 3135 are certified Swiss chronometers, a designation reserved for
high‑precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official
Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests.
They are
fitted with a Parachrom hairspring, offering greater resistance to shocks and
to temperature variations. Their architecture, in common with all Oyster
watch movements, makes them singularly reliable.
