Another feature of Bob’s Watches website is a plethora of information on a wide swath of different watches. Particularly, they have a robust collection of articles focusing on Rolex Submariner watches, including a detailed history of its development. The Submariner was formally launched by Rolex in 1953, boasting high water resistance and the ability to withstand depths of 100 meters, although it was not until the 1960s that the Submariner saw serious success, as it appeared on the wrist of Sean Connery in several James Bond 007 films.

Bob’s notes that the Submariner has shown up in no less than nine different James Bond films over the years. As time went on the Submariner slowly evolved: the case size increased to 40mm in diameter and a date-displaying version was released in 1966. The 1970s saw the advent of more colorful Submariner watches, with Rolex even offering the choice for bright blue dials and bezels. In 1979 the Submariner saw one of its most significant evolutions yet with the release of the ref. 16800. It featured a ratcheting, unidirectional bezel and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

This new robust design granted the new generation of Submariner watches the ability to be submerged up to depths of 300 meters. The late 1980s saw Submariner’s shifting to ultra corrosion-resistant steel, which is almost exclusively used within the aerospace and chemical industries. Bob’s Watches notes that, in fact, Rolex is the only company in the world with the capability to use this material for their timepieces. Bob’s watches maintain the same rugged yet sophisticated nature which has long made the brand a favorite of watch connoisseurs.
