The Rolex Submariner was released by Rolex in 1954. 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. However it was not until 1969 that the Rolex Submariner featured a date with the release of the 1680. The Rolex Submariner 1680 was also the first Submariner to feature a magnification cyclops above the date window. 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.
