Defying the unknown
The benchmark among divers’ watches. A partner in forging new paths. An icon with a universal aura.
At its launch in 1953, the Oyster Perpetual Submariner was Rolex’s first divers’ wristwatch to be waterproof to 100 metres (330 feet). Now waterproof to 300 metres (1,000 feet), the Submariner and the Submariner Date, unveiled in 1969, have conquered new territories far beyond the underwater world.
Beyond the surface
Like those who venture boldly into the unknown of ocean depths, many have chosen the Submariner to immerse themselves in other worlds.
The divers’ watch par excellence
An iconic design, signature technical features and a legacy of constant innovation: the Submariner has become the timeless benchmark for divers’ watches.
