The Diver's Watch

Submariner

The Submariner appeared in 1953 and was the first wristwatch for divers that was waterproof to a depth of 100 meters. In the history of watchmaking, the Submariner marked a historic turning point and became an absolute reference among diving watches.

Shine at the highest level

Gold

Rolex uses only 18ct gold, a noble alloy of 75% pure gold and other elements such as silver and copper to produce yellow, white and the exclusive rose gold alloy - Everose gold. The exact composition of the alloys remains a Rolex trade secret, guaranteeing exceptional durability and unique shine.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

How deep is deep?

When I started wearing watches at a young age, everything was quite simple for me. If the words “Water Resistant” were written on the back cover, you had to be careful. On the other hand, if it said “30M”, everything was fine. Off to the beach with it and have fun. I wore those watches in the sea for years without a care in the world - for swimming, showering and bathing anyway.
