Rolex to Release First Official Book on Submariner

Rolex is preparing to release its first official book on the history of the Submariner. The 252-page book available Sept. 16 in French and English will be the first in a series about its legendary watches, the brand said.

Written by London-based historian Nicholas Foulkes, Oyster Perpetual Submariner: The Watch that Unlocked the Deep takes a look at the Submariner from its inception through the present day — and how as an archetype of the divers’ watch, it unlocked the deep as it accompanied the development of underwater exploration.

“The new and original photography, alongside historic photos from Rolex, illustrates accounts from renowned witnesses to the timepiece’s illustrious 71-year history,” Rolex said.
