"The diver that became the dress watch."
Editorial
The Submariner is the most quoted watch in modern horology. Introduced in 1953, refined every decade since, it is the default answer to 'what is a luxury watch?' Worn on every wrist from heads of state to chefs in shorts. The 41mm Calibre 3235 generation is the current reference.
Why it matters
If the Submariner did not exist, every other luxury sports watch would have had to invent it.
