The Rolex Submariner, Standard Collection

If it’s ever possible for one watch to represent an entire industry, heck an entire cultural phenomenon, that watch would be the Rolex Submariner. Call it what you like. Iconic. Ubiquitous. Classy. Crass. Whichever side of the fence you sit on, there is no denying the long-standing influence of this inherently simple timekeeper. It has transcended the role of mere product and will be forever immortalised as one of – if not the – best sports watches (mechanical or otherwise) ever created.
