By Paul Altieri,
The 1680 red-letter Submariner is one of the most sought after watches in the collector’s world for many reasons. It introduced the date complication to the range; it was the last reference with the acrylic crystal and was only produced for a decade until 1979. Of that decade, the red Submariner line was only available for the first half, making the dial relatively scarce. The single red line on the jet black dial is a very sought after feature of the 1680’s, as it brings a dash of color to the otherwise serious dials characteristic of the Sub.
This watch is a great find, the case is in great shape and has been lightly polished and shows off its great lug bevels. The bezel is in beautiful shape and shows just enough age to give it character. The dial is the showpiece to this package. It is a wonderful red letter dial that has attractive, creamy luminous markers and matching hands. The 93150 Oyster bracelet is nice and strong with a minimal of wear and rounds out this timepiece perfectly. Further enhancing its appeal is the complete nature of this wristwatch, which comes accompanied by its presentation box, guarantee, hang tags, polishing cloth, and passport holder, making it an exciting item for a collection of vintage sports watches.
