Submariner Model Details

[One4adventure]

Hi All,

Sorry for the noob question but I can't find a clear list of the various differences of say a 5512 to a 1680.

Can someone point me to a list of the various differences over the years? I am particularly interested in which model first had the unidirectional bezel.

Cheers,

Chris

There are a number of websites & online resources that describe all the details, so I will leave you to search those out. But the most salient difference is that the (earlier) 5512 does not have a date feature, while the (later) 1680 does. Both are powered by chronometer certified movements.

Hi RoninQ,

Thanks for the link, actually I have been there before. Unfortunately it does not answer which model first had the unidirectional bezel!! Does the 1680 have this feature?

Thanks,

I spoke too soon, there is a link to www.oysterworld.de which has a great compare of the 14060 to the 5513, it would seem the 14060 was the first!!

Thanks,

The 1680 does not have a unidirectional bezel. It's held in place by friction and bidirectional.

Actually the 16800 was the first Sub with the unidirectional bezel. 14060 came out in the late 80's after production of the old 5513 stopped- around the time of the 16610's arrival.
