Pre-Ceramic Submariner Date - 2002

Description:

The Rolex Submariner Date represents the classic era of the Submariner before the introduction of modern ceramic bezels. Crafted in a 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case, it features the traditional aluminum bezel insert, known for its slightly softer sheen and vintage charm compared to later Cerachrom models. The black dial is clean and highly legible, with luminous hour markers and the signature Mercedes hands, while the cyclops magnifier highlights the date at 3 o’clock.

Powered by the reliable Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement, it offers a 48-hour power reserve, precision timekeeping, and robust durability. The brushed Oyster bracelet with hollow end links and a stamped clasp reflects the lighter, more tool-like feel of this generation, making it especially appreciated by enthusiasts for its balance of ruggedness and wearability. Timeless, versatile, and iconic, the 2002 Submariner Date stands as a quintessential example of Rolex’s dive watch heritage in its pre-ceramic form.

This piece presents in excellent condition with full box and papers from 2002.
