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.
