help Rolex Submariner FAQ
What is the water resistance rating of the Rolex Submariner?
The modern Rolex Submariner is rated for water resistance up to 300 meters (1,000 feet). This is achieved through the robust Oyster case and the Triplock winding crown, which features a triple waterproofness system.
When was the Rolex Submariner first introduced?
The Submariner was first introduced to the public in 1953 at the Basel Spring Fair, making it one of the first diving watches. It was famously worn by Ian Fleming's character James Bond in the early film adaptations of the spy novels.
What movement does the current Rolex Submariner use?
Since 2020, the standard no-date Submariner models use the Rolex Calibre 3235, a Superlative Chronometer movement. This movement features a Parachrom hairspring for magnetic resistance and provides a power reserve of around 70 hours.
What is a 'Cerachrom' bezel on a Rolex Submariner?
The Cerachrom bezel is Rolex's proprietary ceramic insert introduced in the 2000s to replace the older aluminum bezels. It is highly resistant to scratches, fading from UV light, and corrosion, making it much more durable for daily wear.
