About this watch

Vintage Rolex Submariner Date 1680 MK4 'Red' Pumpkin Patina 40mm 1971 The stainless steel case remains in good vintage condition, showing strong proportions with wear visible. Lugs retain good definition, and factory finishing is still evident. The bezel is very clean and well-preserved, with a brown tropical colour. Fitted to the watch is a 93150 Oyster bracelet, also in good condition. Links display light wear with only minor stretch, entirely consistent with age, and the clasp remains tight and functional. The MK4 matte dial presents in good condition, with light wear, clear text and nicely aged pumpkin tritium plots. Hands are in good condition, matching the dial well with intact luminous fill. The overall dial and handset retain a crisp, attractive vintage appearance. This is a well-preserved example of the Submariner Date reference 1680 from 1971 — clean case lines, a strong bracelet, and a well-preserved dial and handset make it an excellent representation of this historically significant model.
