While the Rolex Submariner<\/a> itself was first introduced in 1953, it didn\u2019t actually gain a date display until almost a decade and a half later in 1967 with the launch of the reference 1680. Since then, the Rolex Submariner Date has become a constant presence in the brand\u2019s catalog and it has expanded to the point where it is now available in different colors and even precious metal configurations. Rolex still produces a version of the Submariner Date that is crafted from stainless steel and fitted with a classic black dial and matching black bezel insert, although the model that Rolex produces today is quite a bit different than the first version that debuted more than half a century ago.<\/p>\n

Below we are going over a complete comparison between the vintage and modern Rolex Submariner Date watches, and highlighting the key differences between them, and the way this classic date-displaying dive watch has evolved over the years.<\/p>\n
