Rolex Submariner Watches

Diving had become revolutionised in the 1950s by Jacques Cousteau’s invention, the aqua-lung, which made diving easier and more accessible. He was also commissioned by Rolex to help test their new diver’s watch, the Submariner, which went on to become one of the most successful diver’s watches in history.

Rolex Submariner Watches

The Rolex Submariner is a legendary timepiece that has evolved from humble tool-watch beginnings into an iconic symbol of luxury and prestige.


First introduced in 1953, it was a continuation of Rolex’s previous success with waterproof watches, having launched the ground-breaking Oyster model in 1926.


Specifically designed for divers, the Submariner quickly gained popularity among professional underwater explorers, eventually becoming a favourite choice for watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.


From its early models with water resistance of up to 100 metres, it has evolved to withstand depths of up to 300 metres in contemporary versions. Each iteration of the Submariner showcases Rolex's commitment to continuous improvement and innovation.


Aside from its impressive technical specifications, the Submariner is a true symbol of luxury. Its timeless design and robust construction make it a timepiece suitable for both formal occasions and adventurous pursuits, as James Bond would attest (the fictional spy famously wore a Submariner in several of the early movies).


The Submariner's distinct features, such as the unidirectional rotating bezel, luminescent markers, and iconic Oyster bracelet, add to its allure and unmistakable aesthetic.


Another standout feature is its triple waterproof system. Designed to withstand the pressures of deep-sea diving, this ensures that the watch remains watertight even at depths of up to 300 metres.


The combination of a screw-down caseback, Triplock winding crown, and synthetic gaskets guarantees the utmost protection against water ingress. Whether you're exploring the ocean depths or simply enjoying a swim at the hotel pool, you can trust that your Rolex Submariner will keep ticking.


Lastly, let's not forget about the unidirectional rotatable bezel of the Rolex Submariner. Now crafted from ceramic, rather than aluminium, this bezel provides a crucial function. By allowing divers to track their immersion time accurately, the bezel enhances safety and prevents any accidental extension of dive times.


There have been countless versions of the Submariner through the years and the design has evolved incrementally. Early versions came without a Cyclops date window or crown guard, and the colour of the dial and bezel were available only in black. These days the Submariner comes in multiple colour combinations, with nicknames given to several models, such as the all-green “Hulk”, now discontinued.


Most Submariner models now come with a date window at 3 o’clock. However, for those who prefer a cleaner, more minimalist dial, the no-date Submariner is a popular choice. This model is only available with a black dial and bezel.


If you're looking for a more luxurious option, the Submariner two-tone is worth considering. This model combines stainless steel with 18k yellow gold, creating a striking contrast that exudes elegance. The two-tone design adds a touch of luxury to the iconic Submariner silhouette. Even more prestigious are the all-gold versions, which pair a blue bezel with either a black or blue dial. Both yellow gold and white gold models are available.


With its rich history and exceptional craftsmanship, the Rolex Submariner range offers a model for every discerning watch enthusiast. Whether you're a professional diver or simply appreciate the art of horology, the Submariner is a timepiece that will never disappoint. Choose from Watchfinder’s extensive range of pre-owned Rolex Submariners today.
