The Submariner 1680 is a popular vintage Rolex watch to collect since it was the very first Submariner to include a date window on the dial. However, there is a specific variant within the 1680 family known as the Red Submariner that’s the most coveted of all. The Rolex Submariner 1680, fondly nicknamed the “Red Submariner,” is a rare and highly prized Rolex model. Perhaps the most distinctive and valuable feature of the Red Submariner is the red writing on its dial. Produced from about 1967 to about 1975, the earliest batch of the Submariner 1680s featured the name “Submariner” written in red as opposed to the normal white. Red writing on Rolex watches has become highly valued and sought after by collectors. The Red Submariner is a historically significant Rolex reference because it was the first Submariner to feature a date window as well as the Cyclops lens above it. The watch’s crystal was also modified from other Submariner crystals, standing 3mm above the case and bezel. This unique feature makes this particular model recognizable. As more collectors seek to add Red Subs to their collections, this important Rolex reference will be harder to find in the vintage market. The first Submariner with a date window, the only Submariner Date with acrylic crystal, and the first and only Submariner to include red text on the dial, the Red Submariner ref. 1680 is a fantastic vintage Rolex watch to study, hunt, and collect. This watch is in pristine condition and comes with the Rolex box and literature booklets along with a full two-year extended warranty from date of purchase from our store and a state insurance appraisal for its full replacement value. · PLEASE READ OUR ACCEPTED PAYMENT OPTIONS BELOW PRIOR TO BIDDING PLEASE ALSO CHECK OUR OTHER ITEMS...
