The Rolex Submariner is one of the most famous watches of the House of the Crown. There aren't many timepieces that can aspire to the status of an icon of contemporary watchmaking, and the Rolex Submariner is certainly one of them. A Rolex Submariner is a symbol of sporty elegance, an ideal combination of toughness and fit, and a valuable investment.

The Rolex Submariner was presented for the first time in Basel in 1953. This model immediately met with great success among water sports enthusiasts, because it knows how to combine water resistance, solidity and legibility, all in a timepiece that adapts to any occasion, formal or sporty.

The first Rolex Submariner has no date window. The date appears for the first time on the dial of a Rolex Submariner in 1969, accompanied by the Cyclops lens which allows for easy reference. Even today, Rolex Submariner enthusiasts are divided between those who prefer the clean aesthetics of the model without date and those who like the functionality guaranteed by the date window.

Over time, the Rolex Submariner improves more and more in materials and movements. Since 1979, the Rolex Submariner has been equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, then with a ceramic bezel, also scratch-resistant, and today boasts a new ultra-corrosion-resistant steel.

Whether it's a classic black Rolex Submariner in steel without date, a Rolex Submariner Hulk, Kermit or Starbucks, or a steel and gold Rolex Submariner with a blue dial, between the new and used market, there is certainly the Rolex. Submariner that's right for you.

A Rolex Submariner is also an investment: the price of this watch has only risen in recent decades, to the advantage of those who have decided to use it as an alternative savings tool.
