Rolex Submariner Deep confidence<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The Oyster Perpetual Submariner and Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date, archetypes of the divers\u2019 watch, epitomize the historic link between Rolex and underwater exploration. <\/strong>Launched in 1953, the Submariner was the first divers\u2019 wristwatch waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). The Submariner Date, with its date function in addition to the time, was introduced in 1969. The waterproofness of both models was later increased to 300 metres (1,000 feet). Thanks to their renowned robustness, they have moved beyond the marine depths, becoming watches of choice for a wide range of sports and other activities.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

A true divers\u2019 watch by design<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an underwater survival tool, the Submariner\u2019s design has been entirely dictated by the practical needs of divers. The model has evolved technically and been endowed with features to improve overall functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring a 41 mm Oyster case, distinctive dial with large luminescent hour markers and hands, unidirectional rotatable bezel and Oyster bracelet, the Submariner and Submariner Date are among the most recognizable watches ever designed. Contributing to the strong visual identity, a graduated Cerachrom bezel insert made from high-tech ceramic is key to their functionality. Its 60-minute graduation allows a diver to monitor diving time accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliability, robustness and functionality<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Submariner and Submariner Date\u2019s Oyster case is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 300 metres (1,000 feet). The Triplock winding crown \u2013 fitted with a triple waterproofness system \u2013 screws down securely against the case, providing increased water resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to be both robust and comfortable, the Oyster bracelet is equipped with an Oysterlock safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening, and the Rolex Glidelock extension system, allowing fine adjustment of the bracelet length without using any tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Submariner and Submariner Date are equipped with calibre 3230 and calibre 3235 respectively, self-winding mechanical movements entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. They offer outstanding performance, particularly in terms of precision, power reserve, convenience and reliability. Both movements\u2019 power reserve extends to approximately 70 hours.<\/p>\n\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Superlative Chronometer certification<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like all Rolex timepieces, watches in the Submariner range are covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification. This designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand\u2019s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories, according to its own criteria. The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by a green seal and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key to the deep<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Submariner was created specifically for underwater exploration and diving. When it first came out of the Rolex workshops, the watch was an immediate success with many pioneering deep-sea professionals, who were asked to test it. One of those trailblazers was Dimitri Rebikoff, a French engineer and underwater photographer. In his 1953 report, Rebikoff wrote that it had performed outstandingly well in trials: \u201cWe are able to confirm that this watch has not only given entire satisfaction in diving conditions which were extremely tough and particularly murderous for the material used, but that it has proved an indispensable accessory for all diving with independent equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1179,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-collection-details.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1296","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1296"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6063,"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1296\/revisions\/6063"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/walkerthejeweller.com\/rolex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
