Description
The tachymetric scale
The Submariner’s rotatable bezel is a key functionality of the watch. Its 60-minute graduations allow a diver to accurately and safely monitor diving time and decompression stops.
Manufactured by Rolex from a hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic, the Cerachrom bezel insert is virtually scratchproof. A luminescent capsule on the zero marker ensures legibility, no matter how dark the environment. The bezel’s knurled edge is carefully designed to offer excellent grip under water, even with gloves.
Royal blue dial
The dial’s luminescent Chromalight display is an innovation that improved visibility in dark environments, an essential feature for divers.
Hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – and broad hour and minute hands enable instant and reliable reading to prevent any risk of confusion underwater.
The Oystersteel Bracelet
Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Oystersteel, developed by Rolex, is a member of the 904L steel family, the most widely used alloy in the high-tech, aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum corrosion resistance is essential. Oystersteel has exceptional strength and takes a brilliant shine when polished, maintaining its beauty even in the harshest environments.
