The Rolex Submariner is a line of sports watches that was first introduced by Rolex in 1953. The Submariner is notable for being one of the first watches specifically designed for diving and its unidirectional rotating bezel that can be used to track dive times. Beyond its technical capabilities, the Submariner has become an icon in the world of watches, with a timeless design that has remained largely unchanged since its introduction. It is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential watches of all time, and has become a symbol of Rolex's reputation for quality, durability, and precision. The Sub has been worn by everyone from professional divers and military personnel to Hollywood celebrities and heads of state, cementing its place in the pantheon of iconic watches.

This piece circa 2003-4 represents the end of the classic era for Rolex tool watches. The slimmer case shape without inner rehaut and aluminum bezel insert allow for a vintage type feel, all with the benefit of neo-vintage specifications like a sapphire crystal and quick set date function. If you're looking for a complete collectors set example, look no further.
