The Story

The Submariner boasts a 60-minute bezel that allow a diver to accurately and safely monitor diving time and decompression stops.
This vintage watch has developed a Patina which means you can see the natural ageing process that affects the appearance of the watch over time. This can include changes in the colour and texture of the dial, hands, case, strap or bracelet, and even the lume (the material that makes the watch glow in the dark).
