Über diese Referenz

The Ref. 1680, known as the "Red Submariner," is the first Submariner Date model in Rolex history, produced from 1967 to 1979. The early "Red" versions (1967-1975) feature the iconic red "SUBMARINER" text on the dial, making them highly collectible and sought after by enthusiasts worldwide.

Key Characteristics:

40mm Oyster case in Oystersteel
Aluminum bezel insert with bi-directional rotation
Black dial with red "SUBMARINER" text (early versions)
Caliber 1575 movement with date complication
Domed acrylic crystal with Cyclops magnification

Historical Significance: The 1680 represents a milestone in Submariner evolution as the first date model. The red "SUBMARINER" text (through various Mark I-VI dial variants) remains the only time Rolex used colored text on a Submariner dial. Some examples developed a rare "tropical" brown dial patina, now extremely desirable to collectors. Production transitioned to white text in the mid-1970s before the reference was discontinued.

Parts Availability: We stock genuine components for the 1680, including acrylic crystals, aluminum bezel inserts, and various dial components. This reference is highly sought after for restoration projects, with particular emphasis on maintaining originality and dial authenticity.
