Rolex Submariner Date 40mm Black Dial Stainless Steel Oyster Watch 16610

Launched in 1953, the Submariner was the first divers’ wristwatch waterproof to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet). This was the second great breakthrough in the technical mastery of waterproofness, following the invention of the Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, in 1926. In watchmaking, the Submariner represented a historic turning point; it set the standard for divers’ watches. Today, the Submariner is waterproof to a depth of 300 meters (1,000 feet). The Submariner's unidirectional rotatable bezel is key to the functionality of the watch. Its engraved 60-minute graduation allows a diver to monitor diving time and decompression stops accurately and therefore safely. Manufactured by Rolex from a hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic, the Cerachrom bezel insert is virtually scratchproof and its color is unaffected by ultraviolet rays, seawater, or water that is chlorinated.Details:Brand: RolexModel: Submariner DateModel number: 16610Movement: AutomaticCase material: SteelBrace
