Notes

The Rolex Submariner is considered an icon and one of the most recognisable designs among diver’s watches. The shapes and curves of this model had become a benchmark to which all modern watches take inspiration from.
Its versatility guarantees a perfect wristfit for every occasion. On this piece, the dial has aged over the years turning the color and becoming tropical which looks awesome in sunlight unveiling its many different shades.
