Description
This honest and authentic Rolex Submariner 1680 dates from 1978.

With the introduction of the reference 1680 in the late 60s, for the first time the Submariner was fitted with a Cyclops date. Here you can see the all-white printed dial, which was produced for a short period of time between approx. 1976 and 1979.

The Rolex Submariner is a legendary diver's watch and this example is not only a rare vintage find, but also a wristwatch suitable for everyday use thanks to its reliable movement.
