About the Rolex Submariner Date – Ref. 16800 (Black Dial / Stainless Steel / 40mm):
The Rolex Submariner Date reference 16800 represents a key transitional model in the Submariner lineage, produced during the early 1980s. It was the first Submariner Date to feature a sapphire crystal while retaining classic design elements such as the aluminum bezel insert and matte black dial. Powered by the Caliber 3035, this reference introduced a higher-beat movement with a quickset date function. The 40mm stainless steel Oyster case maintains the Submariner’s professional dive-watch specifications, including robust water resistance. As an unpolished New Old Stock example with period-correct tritium lume, this watch offers strong historical and collector significance.
