The reference 16800 was released in 1978.  While it improved substantially upon its predecessor, the reference is known as a “transitional” Submariner because it paired new features and specifications with characteristics from the previous generation.

This model was the first with the Rolex caliber 3035 movement and added a quickset date function to the Submariner. It also had sapphire crystal instead of Acrylic and was 300 meters waterproof. 

While not all vintage Submariners are practical for everyday use, the reference 16800 is a great option for everyday use!

This model is from 1984 in good condition for his age and complete with the original box and service papers. Comes with a full service and 2 years warranty!
