History of the Rolex Submariner
The Rolex Submariner was presented in 1953 – the first watch impressing with a water-resistance of up to 100 metres. This number would later increase to 200 metres and finally to 300 metres. Additionally, the Submariner is equipped with a uni-directional rotatable bezel, making it ideal and safe for measuring diving time.
As soon as the Rolex Submariner became available, consumers could buy 3 different models. These were:
- Submariner ref.6200 with a water resistance of 200 meters
- Submariner ref.6204 with a 100-meter water resistance
- Submariner ref.6205 with self-winding movement caliber A.260 and a water resistance of 100 meters.
There were also no crown guards on the these early models.
