This 252-page book is officially authorized by Rolex and written by renowned watch book author Nicholas Foulkes. It covers the evolution, development history, and intriguing anecdotes behind the “Water Ghost” since its debut in 1953. The book also includes vintage print advertisements, allowing readers to appreciate the beauty of the watch’s design.

The Classic Charm of the Submariner

Since its birth in 1953, the Submariner quickly became a must-have choice for diving enthusiasts and collectors. Its excellent waterproof performance and classic design continue to have strong appeal, making it a favorite among collectors. From the “big crown” to the “small crown,” every detail is captivating. This watch is not only the best companion for diving but has also become a symbol of luxury over time. Nevertheless, Rolex has long kept the complete history of its products under wraps, leading to much speculation about the historical evolution of the Submariner in the market.

Oren Hartov, a watch columnist for “GQ,” pointed out that the Submariner was once designed as a timing tool specifically for divers, soldiers, and other professionals, and its price was relatively affordable. However, during the 1970s and 80s, the value of this watch skyrocketed, becoming a symbol of luxury.

Arnaud Boetsch, Rolex’s Director of Public Relations and Image, stated that the Submariner represents the brand’s deep connection with underwater exploration, and the reputation of this iconic timepiece has far surpassed the marine world, becoming a top choice for sports and other activities.
