Description
This is an automatically translated text.
The Rolex Submariner 1680 succeeds the 5513 and presents real differences.
Whereas the Rolex 5513 will see its production period extending from 1962 to 1989, the first models of 1680 appear in 1969 and the production will continue until 1979. We notice immediately the short production period of the 1680 compared to the 5513.
The reference 1680 introduces a major novelty: it is the first Submariner with date. Moreover, it is the first time that we observe the presence of the famous magnifying cyclops affixed to the glass of the watch, which facilitates the reading of the date. The case is also made of a new 316L steel, more resistant than before.
As for the movement, the 1680 is equipped with the caliber 1575 certified Chronometer with 25 jewels which offers the date, and will evolve around the year 1971 to integrate a stop second, device allowing to stop the second hand when one sets the time.
The watch presented here (serial number starting with 5.289....) is from 1978. It has the stop second function, and its Triplock crown which appears from 1978 as well as its chimney glass.
It is equipped with its oyster bracelet with full link 93150 and junction 580.
Its matte painted index dial has a splendid uniform eggshell patina.
Its quality makes it a very beautiful and rare example.
The Rolex Submariner 1680 is undoubtedly one of the most desirable divers that the brand with the crown has produced.

Having marked its time, this piece exudes the charm of beautiful utilitarian objects that have acquired the status of a timeless myth. A true collector's item signed Rolex that will never lose its value.
