The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner was introduced in the early 1950s with one of the original versions being Ref.6204 model, which is not to tremendously different in looks from the models available today. Here’s a look at various models of the Rolex Submariner divers watch line available.

The first one : Ref. 114060 Submariner (no date) comes equipped with the Rolex 3130 automatic movement with a power reserve of 48 hours. The case is stainless steel 904L, has the typical sapphire crystal and uni-directional bezel, and is certified to 300 meters- diameter of 40mm case size with the folding diver’s clasp with the diver’s extension.

Similar to the previously mentioned as far as sapphire crystal and rotating bezel and also certified to 300 meters with the divers extension.
