Description

This is an automatically translated text.
The Rolex Submariner 6538 vintage has a special place in Rolex history as the original "Bond Submariner" watch. Although several other versions of the Submariner, such as refs 5508 and 6205, received the same moniker, ref 6538 is the original Submariner that was used in several James Bond / 007 films. This watch was only produced between 1955 and 1959.
One of the most important and recognizable features of the Submariner 6538 is the oversized crown (8 mm) and the lack of crown guards. This "large crown" certainly sets this reference apart from others in the Submariner family and is a feature that collectors look for. Ref 6538 uses a caliber 1030 with nickel lever movement with 25 rubies. The dial, which started out black but turned brown over time, features luminous indexes, as well as luminous Mercedes hands and a central seconds hand. The dial and case are topped by a black rotating bezel, which has faded to a light grey, calibrated for 60 units. The 38mm tonneau-shaped Oyster case features a screw-down back and large crown, giving it the ability to withstand water pressure up to an impressive 200m or 660ft.
