The stainless steel Submariner Date is a true icon in Rolex's history, and this neo-vintage iteration is no exception. With its sleek black dial and tritium hour markers, this timepiece exudes both style and functionality. The tradition and history of the Submariner blended with the more modern technical developments and design make it one of the most sought-after 5-digits references from Rolex. It truly blends the both of both worlds.
