The Rolex Submariner is the quintessential divers watch, offering a combination of style and functionality unparalleled in the world of sports timepieces. Seen on the wrists of Hollywood’s leading men and most stylish characters, including Sean Connery and Roger Moores’ James Bond and screen icon Steven McQueen, the Submariner quickly became one of the watchmaking company’s most coveted timepieces and a classic collector’s item.

The original reference model was created in partnership with French underwater exploration tech company COMEX (Compagnie maritime d’expertises), providing the watch with a dive sports pedigree and informing the design process, allowing Rolex to create an iconic wristwatch that allows divers incredible functionality.

The Rolex Red Submariner 16610 DLC-PVD is a statement timepiece with a striking appearance. The stainless steel DLC-PVD coated case and bracelet have a chic black matte finish that contrasts boldly with the bright red watch face. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal covers the dial, which features Chromalight hands and indices in the classic Rolex shapes—circles, rectangles, and an inverted triangle—for easy readability in the extreme low-light conditions divers experience in the oceanic depths.

The water-tight case and crown can withstand pressure up to 1,000 ft. The unidirectional bezel is beveled along the edges for an easy grip underwater, allowing divers to track decompression stops and total dive time. The 31-jewel automatic movement has a 3135 in-house caliber that provides precise timekeeping and a 70-hour power reserve to keep your watch ticking even when it isn’t on your wrist. When you buy a Rolex Submariner from Luxury of Watches, you know you are getting a genuine collector’s piece complete with a certificate of authenticity and a 5-year warranty.
