The Rolex Submariner was released by Rolex in 1954 and has since become one of the most recognisable and desirable watches in the world. The original version of the Submariner, the reference 6205 was the first to feature the now familiar dial layout with inverted triangle at the 12 o'clock position, baton markers at the 3, 6 and 9; and dot marker for the remaining hours. Early examples of the Submariner 6205 were fitted with thin, pencil shaped hands. It was not until the second series that Rolex fitted the now iconic Mercedes-style sports hands. The general design of the Rolex Submariner evolved over the years but the basic formula remains the same - a sports watch with a rotating bezel, easily readable dial and a bracelet with a divers extension.

The very first Rolex Submariner No Date was released by Rolex in 1954. The Submariner 6204 was the first Rolex to feature the now instantly recognisable dial lay-out of inverted triangle at the 12 o'clock position, baton 3, 6 and 9; and dot markers for the remaining hours. The Rolex Submariner No Date even made its way onto the big screen in 1962 when Sean Connery wore a Submariner reference 6538 in the first James Bond film: Dr No. In 1959 Rolex fitted the Rolex Submariner No Date with a pair a shoulders to protect the crown, these became know as crown guards. The Rolex Submariner 5513 was released in 1962 and remains in production until 1989 when it was replaced with the Rolex Submariner 14060 No Date. Improvements over the 5513 include the addition of a sapphire crystal and triplock crown which increased the depth rating of the Rolex Submariner 14060 no date to 300m. The Rolex Submariner 14060M No Date was released in 1999 and replaced the 14060 - the additional M standing for "modified". Improvements over the 14060 include the updated 3130 calibre movement which boasted a larger balance wheel and full balance bridge. The Rolex Submariner 114060 No Date was released at Baselworld in 2012 and featured the same 40mm MAXI case as the 116610LN, a black Cerachom (ceramic) bezel divers scale, sapphire crystal, oyster bracelet with glide-lock clasp and powered by the Rolex calibre 3130 automatic movement. The Rolex Submariner 114060 No Date was eventually discontinued in 2020 when the 41mm Rolex Submariner 124060 was released.  

The Rolex Submariner Date was first released 1969. The Rolex Submariner 1680 was the first Submariner to feature a date window at the 3 o'clock position. The Rolex Submariner continued to evolve through the 1970's and in 1979 Rolex released the 5 digit version of the Submariner starting with the 16800. This transitional Submariner featured a number of upgrades on previous version including a sapphire crystal, the patented Trip-lock crown, a depth rating of 300m (1,000ft) and a ratcheted, unidirectional rotating bezel. In 1988 the Rolex Submariner 16610 was released. This version of the Submariner Date is powered by the brands longest serving movement, the automatic Rolex calibre 3135. The Rolex Submariner 16610 Date features a 40mm stainless steel case and a Rolex Oyster bracelet with folding clasp and divers extension. The Rolex Submariner 16610 Date was eventially discontinued in 2010 and replaced with the Rolex Submariner 116610LN.

Early 5513’s were fitted with meters first gilt gloss dials. The dials evolved over the year to include the matte serif and non serif, Pre-Comex and the MAXI. The last of the 5513’s were fitted with gloss dials which featured applied hour markers in white gold.

The Rolex Submariner 16610LV Kermit was released 2004 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner. The Kermit was powered by the same automatic movement but featured a black "MAXI" dial with slightly larger hour markers and hands than the standard 16610 Date. The Rolex Kermit also features the distinctive green LV (Lunette Verte) bezel insert.
