The Rolex Submariner 1680 “Red Sub” is a legendary vintage dive watch, celebrated for being the first Submariner to feature a date function and for its distinctive red “Submariner” text on the dial. Produced between the late 1960s and mid-1970s, this reference is highly collectible due to its limited production and multiple dial variations (known as “Marks”), each with subtle but important details prized by collectors. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case with an acrylic crystal and black aluminum bezel, the 1680 is powered by Rolex’s Caliber 1575 movement and rated to 200 meters of water resistance. The Red Sub marries vintage charm with tool-watch heritage, making it a standout piece for serious Rolex enthusiasts and collectors alike.
