As one of the single most recognizable timepieces in the world, the Rolex Submariner truly needs no introduction. That said, not all Submariner models are equal, and among the most desirable and collectible Subs ever made are vintage examples from the 1950s that pre-date the implementation of crown-guards. These examples represent Rolex’s original vision for its dive watch before it blossomed into the icon it’s become. During the first handful of years that the Submariner was in production, Rolex released a surprising number of different references – and even produced two different versions of the Submariner alongside each other during the late ‘50s. One model featured an oversized winding crown and the other was fitted with a standard one. In our latest episode of What Is On My Wrist, Craft + Tailored’s CEO Cameron Barr takes a deep dive into all of the details and eccentricities that make the “Small Crown” Rolex Submariner ref. 5508 so special, and breaks down exactly how these early Rolex dive watches differ from their “Big Crown” sibling.
