Rolex Submariner Date 1680 "Pumpkin Dial" – 1978

A highly collectible Rolex Submariner Date reference 1680 from 1978, featuring the sought after black dial with beautifully aged tritium markers and hands that have developed a rich pumpkin patina over nearly five decades. The warm orange tone of the lume creates a striking contrast against the black dial, giving this Submariner the character and charm that vintage Rolex collectors actively seek.

The reference 1680 holds a special place in Rolex history as the first Submariner to feature a date complication. Produced during the golden era of sports Rolex watches, it remains one of the most iconic and investable vintage Submariner references.
