That first reference was the Submariner 1680 and the earlier examples (produced until 1975) included the “SUBMARINER” name in red letters on the matte black dial, hence the “Red Submariner” nickname. During those early years, Rolex experimented with dial design, which has led collectors to categorize the different dials from Mark 1 to Mark 7. This particular example from 1972 features a Mark 4 dial and a faded fat-font bezel insert, and like other reference 1680 watches, this timepiece features a steel Oyster case, a steel Oyster bracelet, and due to the addition of the date window, a Cyclops magnification lens on its acrylic crystal. Additionally, the tritium on its hands and hour markers has developed a matching creamy patina over the years, making this “Red Sub” an excellent example of the first iteration of the Submariner Date and complete with original accessories.
