The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic watches in the world with the richest history. It may be hard to believe today that Submariners were not given a date window until 1969, 16 years after the first Submariner and indeed 2 years after the first Sea-dweller. The very first generation of Submariners with date windows is the 1680.
