The Rolex Submariner reference 1680 holds a special place among vintage sports watches, and this 1978 example represents one of the final dial variants to carry that distinctive red lettering. Produced for just a brief window during the model's run, these early Submariner Date dials are among the most pursued by collectors of the era.
The 40mm round stainless steel case is fitted with a uni-directional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, and an acrylic crystal. The black dial presents index and dot hour markers alongside luminescent hands, displaying hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The watch is worn on a stainless steel bracelet and is powered by an automatic movement.
The watch is described as pristine and used, and is Swiss made. Original box is included; original papers are not. The sale includes a one-year mechanical warranty from the seller.
