The Rolex Submariner reference 1680 was introduced in the late-1960s and was manufactured until 1980.

The Submariner 1680 is a popular vintage Rolex watch to collect since it was the very first Submariner to include a date window on the dial.

However, there is a specific variant within the 1680 family known as the Red Submariner that’s the most coveted of all.

As its nickname suggests, the Rolex Red Submariner 1680 includes a red SUBMARINER inscription on the dial.

Rolex eventually replaced the red version with an all-white text Submariner 1680 in the mid-1970s.

Military used Rolex Submariner "Red" MK4

Ref: 1680 that has papers from US military base in Italy dated 1973.

While not officially issued by any known unit, it is a "military" used piece as it was purchased by a serviceman on base.

Interestingly, case back has what I assume is a unit number with "We Happy Few" also etched with the numbers 292 spelt out as "Two Nine Two". In the center of the case back is the initials CJS which I assume is the initials of the diver.

Together with the accessories such as the original box and guarantee booklet, there is also a diver's depth gauge which is battered and worn.
