About the Rolex Submariner Date “White” – Ref. 1680:
The Rolex Submariner 1680 holds a special place in Rolex history as the first Submariner to feature a date complication. Produced from the late 1960s through the late 1970s, early models carried a single line of red text on the dial, while later examples—like this 1978 “White” variant—featured all-white text. This design shift created a historically significant Submariner aesthetic still echoed in today’s models. Featuring a 40mm stainless steel case, acrylic crystal, aluminum bezel insert, and the robust caliber 1575 movement, the 1680 remains one of the most sought-after vintage dive watches. Collectors prize the “White” 1680 for its blend of tool-watch functionality and enduring historical importance in the Rolex lineage.
