Rolex Submariner, the watch of the ocean depths

ROLEX SUBMARINER, THE TIME OF THE ABYSS

The diving watch Rolex Submariner was presented in 1953 at the Basel fair. The first model, thanks also to the case Oyster, is waterproof up to 100m depth. The rotating bezel allows the diver to check dive times. In more modern models, the bezel of the Rolex Submariner it can only be rotated counterclockwise: the diver is not likely to believe that he has more air supplies than they actually are. This helps make diving safer and makes the Rolex Submariner a popular choice for divers from all over the world.

Rolex already had a great deal of experience with water resistant watches, thanks to the introduction of the Oyster case in 1923. The Rolex Submariner develops further innovations, such as water resistance up to 100 m, and the knurled bezel so that it can also be used with diving gloves. Another feature of the diving watch Rolex Submariner is the screw-down crown, which prevents water from entering the case.

The legend of the Rolex Submariner

Il Rolex Submariner it is chosen by many divers, sportsmen and even actors, quickly becoming a status symbol. Particularly famous is the Rolex Submariner worn by Sean Connery in the films Agent 007 - License to Kill and 007 - Goldfinger Mission. James Bond wears a Rolex Submariner reference 6538, with a strap too small for the size of the watch: it is said that it was made from a strip of canvas that was available on the set. In any case, the Rolex Submariner it has since become a myth, the symbol of the active and refined man that Sean Connery embodied to perfection.
