Everybody knows what a Rolex watch is and what the name of Rolex means in the world of watch-making. If you haven't got a Rolex watch, I am sure you have looked at several websites promoting the wonderful timepieces that made Rolex one of the leading names in the field of watches. A long and outstanding history marks the evolution of the Rolex watches. The names of certain lines of Rolex watches are still on our lips and each Rolex lover sticks to his favorite model and would never turn to any other.

Rolex Submariner is a line of watches that was first introduced to the public in 1954, though Rolex had started developing them two years earlier. Highly resistant to water, they were mainly designed for diving. And here is a very interesting thing to remember. The luminous triangle at the 12 o'clock position was initially intended to be red. We know that red is the first wavelength to be lost under water, so the triangle ended up being white instead.

As it is one of the most widely recognized collections of luxury watches in the world, the Submariner line is still replicated and very well sold to those who cannot afford the original ones. These authentic waterproof watches have increased their depth rating from 100 meters (when the first Submariner appeared) to 300 meters (in 1979) while their replicas, though quite similarly-looking from a small distance, cannot be used under water.
In 2003, Rolex launched The Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches edition to celebrate one of the most desired line in their history. The Green bezel and Maxi dial are the main distinctive features of this new Rolex design approach.

Many Rolex fans rushed to get this attractive timepiece as soon as it appeared, mainly because a Rolex watch is one of the most reliable watches in the world. However, the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches have more than precision and reliability to offer. The green bezel makes them look both stylish and joyful. That final touch of green is a quite refreshing element meant to improve the classical appearance of the well-known Submariner. The redesigned dial with more prominent indicators makes one think of the Yacht-Master which is probably the source of inspiration for the Maxi dial of the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches.

As always, Rolex put a lot of consideration into their design - which is the reason why they are considered so classy and are replicated on such a large scale all over the world. With the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches, the hour markers became larger and the minute hand slightly wider. Having more luminescent paint on, these watches are much more visible, especially in the dark. Thus, their initial diving purpose has successfully been enhanced by following the new Maxi dial idea.

The Submariner is undoubtedly a very elegant watch and the features that have been added to the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches make this line one of the most colorful options for the modern man.
