Description
Rolex 1680 Vintage Submariner Date Service Dial 40mm 1978 WxO
The Rolex Submariner 1680 is a cornerstone of vintage Rolex collecting, celebrated for its classic proportions, historical significance, and early use of the date complication within the Submariner line. This 40mm example from 1978 features a later Rolex Service Dial, offering clean legibility and a fresh aesthetic while preserving the integrity of the original reference. The stainless-steel case, acrylic crystal, and period-correct bezel design reflect the rugged tool-watch character that defined the Submariner’s early evolution. As a late-1970s piece, it carries authentic vintage charm paired with reliable long-term wearability.
