The Rolex Submariner 6204 which was initially introduced in 1953, was actually the first wristwatch to be water resistant to a depth of 100 meters. Even though the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms was technically the world’s first dive watch, it was the replica Rolex Submariner that ultimately became the archetype of the modern dive timepiece.
The rolex replica Submariner has remained in continuous production since its initial launch more than six decades ago; however despite its remarkably long and remarkable history, the overall aesthetic of the Submariner has remained incredibly consistent – and for good reason too. The Submariner is a real but typical, and its appearance is one of the most timeless and widely recognizable designs from any timepiece manufacturer.
Although it was not the first watch to be particularly designed for SCUBA diving, no timepiece has acted an important role in shaping and advancing the overall dive watch category than the fake Rolex Submariner. The Submariner ranks among the most iconic and widely imitated designs in the entire wristwatch industry, and nearly every dive watch manufactured today has in some way been affected by the aesthetic and feature-set of the original Submariner.
Three different Submariner references were released within the first two years of its production; however this model is widely regarded to be the very first Submariner that Rolex ever put forward. Early Submariner references were greatly based on the design of Rolex’s existing Turn-O-Graph watch.
The Submariner was a highly water resistant, self-winding watch that was capable of displaying nothing more than the time of day with a running seconds-hand. Owing to its incredibly early place within the Submariner’s history, this replica timepiece pre-dated the introduction of “Mercedes” style hands, and instead was fitted with “pencil” style hands, like those found on the original Turn-O-Graph. What’s more, its friction-fitted, timing bezel rotated bi-directionally, and its aluminum bezel insert would frequently scratch and fade after prolonged use and exposure to saltwater and sunlight. 
Even though the best replica Rolex still produces the Submariner in a no-date format, the majority of contemporary Submariner references now feature a date complication at the 3 o’clock location, and an accompanying Cyclops magnification lens on their sapphire crystals. A large number of precious metal versions of the Submariner now exist.
True to its roots, the luxury replica watch is manufactured with a black dial and bezel insert now also exists as an option, which collectors have nicknamed “the Hulk” due to its thick case and all-green color profile. Possibly the most significant update to accompany the latest generation of Submariner watches is the change in bezel insert material. Instead of being craft from aluminum, which was prone to scratching and fading, modern Submariner bezel insert are now made from Cerachrom, Rolex’s proprietary ceramic compound that is virtually scratchproof and will never fade due to prolonged exposure to saltwater and sunlight.
