Interesting article - The Monometer 1st Submariner

[ob1]

Found this interesting article through twitter, from a classic car magazine of all places. Cool looking watch that i'd never heard of before. Enjoy!

I thought the link read classic diver at first

I quite like it, but given the similarity between their models I guess you'd be hard pressed to find something you don't like. If you like one, you like all.

Interesting placing of Oyster Perpetual, I don't think I've seen that before.

Very nice!

Great read, Thanks for sharing, Mark

But must say that they got it wrong comparing it with a Sub or Dweller as it is a pre Turn-o-Graph
when looking into the History.
Still a great collectible watch for sure, Mate.

Here is a link which explains the name a bit more.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing the info guys.
These old 35mm models look tiny in the flesh - the pics don't do them justice.

Cheers

You think this would have something to do with the upcoming space race? Maybe Rolex was trying to capitalize on it.
