Superlative chronometer certification Like all Rolex timepieces, watches in the Submariner range are covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification. This designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’sworkshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories, according to its own criteria. The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee. A key to the deep The Submariner was created specifically for underwater exploration and diving. Over the years, it has proved equally at home out of the water and has become the emblematic all-round watch, worn by explorers, athletes, filmmakers, artists and others from all walks of life. When it first came out of the Rolexworkshops, thewatchwas an immediate success withmany pioneering deep-sea professionals, whowere asked to test it for the brand. One of those trailblazers was Dimitri Rebikoff, a French engineer and photographer specializing in underwater research, forwhom thiswatch quickly became indispensable. In his 1953 report, Rebikoff wrote that it had performed outstandingly well in trials: “We are able to confirm that thiswatch has not only given entire satisfaction in diving conditions which were extremely tough and particularly murderous for the material used, but that it has proved an indispensable accessory for all diving with independent equipment.” A true divers’ watch, the Submariner paved the way for Rolex deep-sea diving watches, namely, the Sea-Dweller and the Rolex Deepsea. High-tech ceramic The Cerachrom bezel insert is made of an extremely hard, virtually scratchproof ceramic whose colour is unaffected by ultraviolet rays. Additionally, it is inert and cannot corrode. TRIPLOCK WINDING CROWN Including two sealed zones inside the tube and a third inside the crown, the Triplock winding crown provides increased water resistance. ROLEX GLIDELOCK The Rolex Glidelock extension system is an inventive toothed mechanism, located under the clasp cover that enables fine adjustment of the bracelet length, without tools.
