History Of The Rolex Submariner

A well-known dive watch, the Rolex Submariner has been made since 1954. It was first made for deep-sea diving but it’s much better now. The watch used to be able to handle water up to 200 meters deep. It can now handle water up to 300 meters deep.

With its unique hand shape and frame that helps divers tell time underwater, this watch stays on even when you move your wrist. It can still tell time three days after you take it off.

James Bond wears it in many movies because it’s strong, reliable and stylish. In real life, hunters and military divers use it too.

People who don’t know what to look for still spend around $3,000 on these fake watches because they think they’re real. Maybe they only cost $100 to $300 to make.
