Lot Essay

The reference 16800 is known as the transitional Submariner. This model was the first Submariner to use the caliber 3035, which has the quickset date function. The reference 16800 had many technological advancements including a sapphire crystal and depth rating to 1000 feet. The 16800 either came with white gold surrounding the hour lume plots or no white gold surrounds on the earliest versions. This particular model lacks the white gold surrounds giving it a more vintage look. This is an all-time classic and a great watch for everyday use.
