The first Submariner with date/Ref.1680.
This was manufactured from 1969 to 1975.
The early model with the SUBMARINER logo in red,
It is
commonly known as the Red Sub .
The item we have in stock this time is a rare model among red Submariners.
Meter first.
The 200m marking comes first, commonly known as "meter first"
This is an early model with a matte dial.
The Meter First was produced from 1969 to 1970.
The red Submariner is a meter-first model.
They are classified from MK1 to MK3.
This time we will introduce the second dial, "MK2".
The features of the MK2 dial are:
Although it is not as good as the "660ft" "Open 6" and MK1,
It is characterized by a “long f” with a long top part.
If you look more closely, you will see that the Submariner notation is
It is a red font with red letters painted over white letters!
This is also a feature of the MK2 dial!
The MK2 dial has a relatively large number of brown-colored dials.
This one also has a slight brown tint to it.
It's not a very dark brown, but it has a great vibe!
I'm looking forward to seeing how it ages in the future!
Important point!
The dial condition is good!
The hands are thought to have been replaced with later tritium hands.
The atmosphere is not spoiled.
The item has some scratches from use appropriate for its age, but is in good condition.
*The bezel insert is a service bezel.
The middle case has a slight polished feel,
It's relatively sturdy!
As you can see, the lug feet have sharp edges that give a good impression.
9315/The winding bracelet (FF380) has some wrinkles appropriate for its age.
*The clasp part was replaced in later years.
Wrist shot!!
Meter first red sub.
When you wear it on your wrist, you'll understand the depth of this model!
Vintage Submariner – Representative Model/Red Submariner “MK2”
I have the impression that the red subs are less common these days than they used to be.
In particular, it is quite hard to find such a beautiful MK2 dial, even if you search hard!
