Submariner Date

Rolex | Ref. 1680

Sold

1970s Sub!

Very beautiful Submariner Date Reference 1680 with a Type B tritium service dial, matching tritium hands, silver date disc, and later service bezel.

The case was professionally laser-cleaned and refinished by our partner atelier. The same goes for the bracelet. This leaves the watch in almost like-new condition. The watch has a 5 million serial number and was produced around 1978.

The dial was replaced with a tritium service dial in the 1990s. The hands are matching tritium hands. The clasp is stamped with R6 and is therefore of a later date. The matching 93150 bracelet has the matching 580 end links.

The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.
