Rolex Submariner 1680 b&p

The ref. 1680 was the first in Submariner's history to feature a date and, to ease the reading, the "cyclops" lens on the plexy, allowing for a 2.5x magnification. The 1680 is labeled as waterproof up to 200 meters.

The caliber inside is a 1570 with a date disc.

From 1971, the movement was equipped with"hacking seconds": when you want to set your Submariner's time, the seconds hand stops allowing you for a more precise setting. The date mechanism is "Quick switch" and "Slow set".
