ROLEX, SUBMARINER, REF. 1680

The reference 1680 was the first Submariner to have the date function. The inside of the case back is stamped “I. 69” indicating it is from the first quarter of 1969. This specific example features an attractive earlier bezel insert that has faded to a blue-ish color. The luminous material on the dial and hands have turned to a cream color giving this watch a beautiful aesthetic. The Submariner reference 1680 is considered an all-time classic and a great watch to wear daily.
