The face features its now-trademark rotating bezel and luminescent dotted hour markers. The result is a watch that's immediately recognisable, even among non-collectors.

The history of the Rolex Submariner

When it was first launched in the early 1950s, Rolex Submariner was a trailblazer. The first diving watch to be water-resistant to 100m, it seamlessly blended functionality with beautiful design.

Additional details included a rotating 60-minute timing bezel created to help divers keep track of how long they spent below the waves and a dial that featured luminous material to ensure readability underwater – details that have been retained over its different iterations.

Practicality dictated the watch's look and design. The first Submariner was made from stainless steel and featured a black bezel and dial.

The Rolex Submariner has evolved over time in order to keep up with the latest watchmaking innovations and divers' requirements. Its waterproofing was extended up to 300m and the Submariner Date model was introduced alongside it. However, the key details from its original model have been retained.

When you check out the collection of second-hand Rolex Submariner watches here at H&T, then, you'll be choosing an iconic piece steeped in history.
