The Rolex Submariner reference 16800 was produced between 1979 and 1988, superseding reference 1680. The newly released model featured a sapphire-crystal instead of the usual Plexiglas, a new movement (cal. 3035) as well as an increased depth rating of 300m. Furthermore, the bezel would now only rotate unidirectionally, ensuring the watch would be safer for divers to time their decompression. The reference 16800 was initially introduced with a matte dial bearing tritium indexes, before Rolex fitted the model with glossy dials featuring circled indexes in 1984.

This watch, with its painted indexes, is part of the first series of the reference.
