The Rolex Submariner Date Vintage Red Sub is an iconic collector’s piece among vintage watches. Produced between the late 1960s and the mid-1970s, it is distinguished by the word “Submariner” printed in red on the dial — a rare and highly sought-after visual signature. As the first Submariner to feature a date aperture at 3 o’clock with a Cyclops magnifier, and fitted with an acrylic crystal, it is powered by the automatic Caliber 1575. Water-resistant to 200 m, it embodies the history and charm of its era while remaining a powerful symbol of elegance and rugged durability.
