The History Of The Rolex Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is the product of decades of precise technological refinement. The rich Submariner history of this timepiece makes it an interesting watch that collectors have fallen in love with.  The Rolex Submariner evolved from earlier efforts to make a watch that was truly water-resistant. Rolex experts worked for many years to perfect the submersible features of this watch, and the original Submariner debuted at the 1954 Swiss Watch Fair. The "Submariner" name is in keeping with the minimalist Rolex nomenclature found with the DateJust and other models.

The Rolex Submariner is known for its resistance to water and was the first watch ever designed for deep sea diving. Submersible up to 980 feet or 300 meters, the Rolex Submariner far outperformed the earlier "waterproof" watch models whose maximum sustained water resistance only went to 200 meters or 660 feet of pressure. This incredible resistance to water pressure meant that deep-sea divers could wear the Rolex Submariner on all but the very deepest dives.
