We are delighted to offer yet another great looking first generation sapphire crystal Submariner reference 16800 with stunning patina’d lume. You are probably familiar with the term pumpkin to refer to richly patina’d lume that takes on an orange tone. We are inclined to call the color of the lume on this model “caramel,” as the orange color of the lume is remarkably rich; think toffee, butterscotch, crėme brulé, or whatever flavor or imagery you favor!

The current example features a very beefy lug, never polished case with original 93150 bracelet with 593 end pieces and with flip lock clasp bearing the proper J12 date code. The bracelet is in excellent condition and shows little stretch. Powered by caliber 3035 self winding movement with quick set date. The watch has been fully serviced and pressure tested, and both watch and bracelet left unpolished as found,

If you’re looking for a distinctive vintage sub this is one you must see in person to fully appreciate. Currently available in our shop for inspection and purchase.

Guaranteed genuine and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation. Your purchase includes our signature fine leather watch pouch, ideal for travel and storage, a $65.00 value.
