Rolex Submariner Date

First introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner Date continues to be a crowd-pleaser. Waterproof to nearly 1,000 feet—thanks to a screw-down caseback and Triplock winding crown—the watch flawlessly monitors diving time and decompression stops. But the Submariner is far more than just a diver’s watch; after everyone’s favorite spy sported the watch in the 007 movie franchise, it became a bona fide fashion statement. “In 1962, on the wrist of James Bond, the watch started a dual incarnation as a fashion icon that to this day imparts a powerful image of male urbanity and refinement,” Betteridge notes. The version pictured above is equipped with a date display. (rolex.com)
