Why the Rolex Submariner is a Must-Have Luxury Watch in 2024
Introduction to the Rolex Submariner
The Rolex Submariner stands as a testament to Rolex's dedication to crafting enduring timepieces. Originally designed for professional divers, the Rolex Submariner showcases impeccable craftsmanship, featuring a screw-down crown that ensures a watertight seal, preventing water from entering the crown tube. First introduced in 1953 with a water resistance of 100 meters (330 feet), the Submariner has evolved, now boasting the capability to descend to depths of approximately 300 meters or 1,000 feet.
General Features and Characteristics:
The Rolex Submariner is supplied with the Rolex’s Oyster case crafted with special materials such as stainless steel granting longevity and durability for used Rolex watches. The newer models for the Rolex Submariner contain a Cerachrom Bezel Insert that is highly resistant to scratches and damages to the bezel allowing it to keep its luxury look for a long period of time.
The Submariner contains multiple features that make it waterproof for example, a solid case back screwed onto the case to keep it sealed tight and allow minimal water entrance. Some models contain a helium escape valve that releases helium that is being built up during a very deep dive.
