1986 Rolex Submariner

The 1986 Rolex Submariner is, honestly, just one of those watches that managed to balance rugged durability with timeless style, which is probably why collectors still chase it down today. It was a year that kept the classic Submariner look alive but slipped in updates like a new caliber movement under the hood. At Tropical Watch, we get why pieces like this matter — they’re not just watches, they’re little chapters of history you can wear every day.
