The Submariner is the archetypal dive watch, unchanged in silhouette since 1953 and the template every other diver is measured against. Rated to 300 metres, it moved from naval issue to boardroom standard without altering its face.

The 126613LB combines Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold with a blue sunburst dial and matching Cerachrom insert.

Fun fact: Rolesor, Rolex's word for steel and gold together, was trademarked in 1933. On a Submariner it is the configuration that sold the model to people who never dive, and it has never left the catalogue since 1984.

The collection

Submariner

The diver Rolex has made since 1953, rated to 300 metres today

Rolex introduced the Submariner in 1953 as a divers' watch waterproof to 100 metres, and it has stayed close to that brief since: a rotating timing bezel with a luminous pearl at 12, broad hands and markers, and a dial meant to be read in one look. The bezel turns one way only, so a knock can make the dive read longer than it is but never shorter. Cerachrom ceramic inserts reached the Submariner Date in 2010 and the no-date model two years later, the depth rating stands at 300 metres, and the case moved to 41 mm in 2020 with revised proportions and a bracelet of sleeker lines. Both the Submariner Date, with the Cyclops lens over the date, and the plain no-date model are made, in Oystersteel, Rolesor and solid gold.
