Rolex 1680 Submariner

The Rolex 1680 Submariner—yeah, that one—debuted in the late '60s as the first Submariner with a date function, making waves with its iconic red writing and rugged charm. It's a classic with real grit, the kind collectors geek out over. At Tropical Watch, we curate vintage legends like this not just for their looks, but for the stories they carry—each scratch, each patina, yeah, it’s all part of the appeal.
