Rolex Watches and the world’s most authoritative design magazine, Wallpaper*, have collaborated on the first book about the history of the brand’s development, “Oyster ‌Perpetual Submariner ‌- the watch that opened the depths”. ⁢This book, written by writer and watch ​expert Nicholas Foulkes,⁢ explores the history of the Oyster Perpetual Submariner.

A ​Legacy⁢ of Innovation

The Submariner, launched in 1953, was the world’s first watch waterproof to a ⁤depth of 100‍ meters. Building on this achievement, Rolex ⁢developed subsequent models such as the Sea-Dweller, Deepsea, and Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge, pioneering ⁢the brand’s entry into the ⁤diving field.
