The Rolex Submariner 1680 is the first Submariner to carry a date, made from 1969 to 1979, which meant it was also the first with the Cyclops magnifier bubbled over the window at three — and, because it kept an acrylic crystal, the only dated Submariner ever fitted with one. A 40 mm Oyster case and the calibre 1575, the no-date 1570 with a date wheel added, sit under a matte black dial. From 1969 to about 1975 Rolex printed SUBMARINER in red on that dial; those early "Red Sub" examples are among the most collected vintage Rolexes, which is exactly what a director gets when they put one on a leading man's wrist.
