Description: Vintage Rolex Submariner 1680
Rolex introduced the reference 1680 around 1969 and it was in production until roughly 1979. This was the first Submariner to feature the date function and Rolex still offers date and no-date models to this day. This example has the word "Submariner" written in red text and collectors refer to these as the "Red Submariner." Rolex did this until around 1975 and then they switched to all white text. Collectors tend to gravitate towards these Red Subs and we have seen demand increase significantly in the last couple years.
This watch is in overall beautiful condition. The lume has aged to an attractive marshmallow color which pairs nicely with the beautifully faded bezel. The watch features a Mark V dial. The Mark V dial is distinguished by the feet first depth rating with open 6s; the red "Submariner" text is also applied directly to the dial for this version and the coronet on the dial is specific to this variation.
