One4adventure Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 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.

freddy333 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 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.

One4adventure Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 http://www.vintagesubmariner.com/ 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, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chris 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!!

Nanuq Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The 1680 does not have a unidirectional bezel. It's held in place by friction and bidirectional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 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.
