The Rolex 1680 for sale here holds the title of the very first Submariner to include a jump date mechanism on the dial. Before it hit the market in the 1960s, the Submariner was powered by a time-only movement. Reference 1680's place in Rolex history is what makes it such a gem among vintage luxury watch collectors, and you can add one to your collection today for a competitive Rolex 1680 price. The edition you see here is also known as the "Red Submariner" because it displays the Submariner logo in bright red font. It is a very prized collector's item.
