The Rolex Submariner has been a part of the Rolex catalog for well over 60 years. As expected, the famed dive watch has undergone plenty of design and mechanical enhancements over the past six decades, including the all-important timing bezel. Read on to discover all the different types of bezels of the Rolex Submariner.When Rolex debuted the Submariner in 1953, the stainless steel dive watch included a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes to allow divers to track immersion times. The steel bezel turned both ways for simple timing adjusting, the edge of the bezel was knurled for easy gripping underwater, and the insert was fashioned from black aluminum.The printed 60-minute scale on the earlier versions included markings for every 5 minutes, alternating between batons and numerals. By the late 1950s, Rolex started to include hash marks for the first 15 minutes on the bezel followed by 5-minute markings.Around 1969, Rolex introduced the first yellow gold Submariner, the Submariner Date ref. 1680/8. Accordingly, the knurled rotating bezel was fashioned from 18k yellow gold. What’s more, the Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 now offered the choice of either a black or blue aluminum bezel insert and matching dial.
When you got the watch on hand, you can feel its high quality texture, it is also a little heavy. My wirst is 16.5mm, I can wear a 38mm watch, the 47mm SevenFriday also suits me very well, so is this Omega. The crystal is very clear.The crown is easy for you to distinguish whether this Omega replica watch is made by a big factory or a small factory. The base face of the crown is brushed, while the Omega Logo above is polished, besides, the side face around the crown is polished, the whole craftmanship of the crown is in a high level. Although genuine watch is better, it is really hard for a factory to achieve such a high replicating grade.The hands of this Omega watch have several colors alternatives, the most usual are silver and blue, there are also unique black and yellow bumblebee color as well as green. The hand uses drawing finishing, so do those hour markers. The factory did not uses baked blue design on the hand, because this Omega Aqua Terra 150M was an old model published a long time ago, and the factory was not attempted to release the future upgraded version, so, if you are in pursuit of perfection, I suggest you choose silver hand model.The bracelet is very good, it gives a high quality texture feeling, the gap between links is tight, not too loose, the drawing finishing on the bracelet is very delicate. The Omega Logo on the clasp is deeply engraved, which gives a strong three-dimensional feeling. When you need to adjust the length of the bracelet, you have to lose the screws on each side, and then take the pin out.
