Rlx Submariner – Men's Luxury Dive Watch
The Rlx Submariner is the quintessential luxury dive watch, revered for its robust engineering, iconic design, and enduring legacy. First introduced in 1953, it was the world's first wristwatch to be water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters—a standard that has since evolved to 300 meters (1,000 feet) in modern models.
Design & Aesthetics
Crafted with precision, the Submariner features a bold yet refined Oyster case, typically measuring 40mm to 41mm, depending on the reference. Its clean, minimalist dial—available in classic black, blue, or green—is paired with large luminous hour markers and Mercedes-style hands, ensuring maximum readability in low light or underwater.
The unidirectional rotatable bezel with a Cerachrom (ceramic) insert allows divers to safely track immersion time. The robust build and timeless aesthetic make the Submariner as appropriate with a suit as it is with a wetsuit.
