Rolex Submariner ref. 6200 'Big Crown' Explorer-dial watch front

Rolex Submariner Steel

Rolex, 1954–1956

Why It Matters

The early ref. 6200 pairs a large winding crown with a case lacking crown guards. Examples with a 3-6-9 dial make a particularly clear link between simple field-watch legibility and the emerging Submariner design.
