Rolex Submariner 16618 40mm Blaues Zifferblatt Gelbgold — Schweizer Uhrwerk

The 16618 is old-school gold Submariner. Full 18k Gelbgold Gehäuse and Armband, deep blau Zifferblatt, and - this is key - the classic aluminum Lünette rather than ceramic. Collectors dig that vintage look.

Unlike the newer models, the Lünetteneinsatz here is aluminum with a gold 60-minute scale. It has a different character than ceramic - some would say more charm. The Lünette still only rotates counterclockwise for safe dive timing.

The Oyster Armband in solid gold comes with the Fliplock extension - predecessor to today's Glidelock. With 300m Wasserdichtigkeit and the Triplock Krone, you've got a real professional Taucheruhr underneath all that gold.

The blau Zifferblatt with gold hour markers and Mercedes hands is classic Submariner. The Leuchtmasse on hands and Indizes does its job when the lights go out.

Production ran from 1988 to 2008, making this one of the last Submariners before the ceramic era. It's the one to get if you want the gold Taucher look without the modern Lünette.
