Notes
Probably one of the most iconic references ever
made by Rolex, the 6200 was the most resistant
dive watch offered by the firm with a large 8mm
crown and a depth resistance of 200m. With increasing
worries concerning the radiation emitted by the
radioactive material such as the famous recall of the
6542 bakelite bezels, the same concerns applied to
early Submariners as well.
Fitted with a gilt dial but with the mention t-25 added to
the dial, it appears that Rolex at some point replaced
the radium with tritium as well as the hands and simply
added the mention on the dial (while removing the
radium) rather than changing the entire dial.
