1979 Rolex Submariner | Ref. 1680 | Mark 2 Matte Dial | With Box

The introduction of the ref. 1680 in the Rolex catalog marked the most significant update to the Submariner to date, adding a date function for the first time. Rolex continues to offer Submariner models with or without the date feature, but the ref. 1680 was the pioneer in this regard.
