Notes

Known as the second only small crown guard ever produced by the manufacturer following the 6204 (the reference 6200 known as a big crown was produced at the same time), the reference 6205 was only produced for a very short period (less than a year) and is one of the rare Submariners not to feature the depth rating on the dial.
