The Submariner features its original “MK1” matte black dial with tritum hour markers, polished white gold tritium coated hands, and a magnified date window aperture at 3 o’clock.

The case on the 1680 has been preserved well and contains even and fairly thick lugs, while the bezel ring remains crisp. The 93150 Oyster bracelets appear unpolished, and contains minimal stretch, remaining in approximately 90% plus condition. The dial and hands are free of any damage or imperfections, while the acrylic crystal contains some faint surface level scuffs. Overall the 1680 is in excellent vintage condition, and is a nice example of a MK1 1680.
