Launched in 1967, the “Single Red” was the first Submariner model to feature a date function. Highly collectable for its unique red letter, the reference was only available for approximately 7 short years and collectors today have identified 6 types of dials available for the reference. The present example is fitted with a MK II meter first dial which is period correct to the “long five” bezel, case and bracelet.
