Interpretation of Rolex's first diving watch

OMEGA introduced Bond's special wrist watch this year, and we introduced it before. But I still want to say is, in addition to OMEGA, handsome and handsome 007 can not turn less than OMEGA's old rival Rolex brand.

The first part of the "007" movie released in 1962, but in fact, as early as 1954 in CBS aired a fifty minute black-and-white TV movie "Casino Royale", in this film Bond, he had to wear watches is the Rolex submariner; the most important is that this section of the Silent Hunter Rolex is not just come out of the silent hunter!

Some people say that the Rolex submariner was born in 1954, because there is no "SUBMARINER" logo before the watch. But according to official data, the Silent Hunter series is born in 1953, but also the first can do waterproof 100 meters deep diver watch. This is, of course, more persuasive and more popular.

In fact, from the first submariner watches, Rolex watches in the future has been basically fixed. While Rolex was involved in diving technology at the beginning of its construction, most of its antique watches were mostly pocket watches and formal watches. But time jumped to the 50s of the last century, and it was the era of diving watches.

Rolex launched in 1953 of this paragraph 6204, was the world's first waterproof to a depth of 100 meters diving table, and also added as one of the standard diving watch on the rotating bezel.

However, from the design point of view, this 1953 launch of 6204 in shape and now Rolex is almost the same! This watch also laid a solid foundation for Rolex, do not know the designers at that time, have not thought that their own design will not only become a trend, but also become difficult to go beyond the classic!

After all, decades old design, natural and now Rolex to have some differences. Such as Rolex now basically will have to shoulder the crown, this design is not 6204; also like Mercedes Rolex needle, and did not appear in the 1953 first submerged the.

The first 6204 was supposed to be a pioneer, and then, in 1954, 6200 was added to the design of the bubble back and the Mercedes Benz needle. Later, some details of the logo appeared on the dial, such as waterproof depth, and "SUBMARINER" that did not appear on the 6204 dial".

Now is the Rolex submariner watch series of mainstay, classic watches also emerge in an endless stream. The first and the 6204 is a new era for those who should be said to have the bright younger generation, its success will have on the Rolex submariner. Imagine, if not 6204 of the emergence, or abortion, then what would it be like?
