Description

The illustrious Rolex 168000 Triple OOO, a highly prized model amongst enthusiasts, was exclusively produced for a short span of only 9 months in the year 1987. This limited-time production amplifies its exclusive aura, making it a rare find that Rolex collectors often term as a 'transitional' model – a significant bridge between the brand's past and future designs.

The charisma of the Rolex 168000 Triple OOO lies in its transformative journey. This watch was a breakthrough in the Rolex product range when it was initially launched back in 1979. Rolex incorporated an innovative new Caliber 3035 movement that revolutionized the speed of time tracking. The sophisticated mechanism improved upon previous iterations, providing users with a genuinely modern timepiece.

A notable attribute of this renewed movement was the introduction of the first-ever quickset feature in Submariner watches. This feature was a trademark of Rolex, emphasizing functionality while also maintaining their distinctive style and class.

What distinguished the Rolex 168000 Triple OOO from its predecessor, the Model 1680, was its unique structural amendments. To enhance resilience and aesthetic appeal, the watch was fitted with a Sapphire crystal, significantly more durable and scratch-resistant than ordinary glass types. Additionally, a Ratchet bezel was added, a rotating bezel that conveniently keeps track of elapsed time during diving or other activities.

Bearing a classic black dial that complements the gleaming stainless steel case beautifully, this elegant timepiece boasts a 40 mm case – a perfect size to provide a statement without being overwhelming. The black dial amplifies its sophistication, adding a touch of bold elegance to the overall design.

Engineered for the thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts, the watch offers a remarkable water-resistance capacity. It's built to withstand depths of up to 1000 feet, making it an ideal companion for divers.

Adding an extra dash of elegance and comfort, the Rolex 168000 Triple OOO comes paired with the renowned bracelet model 93150. This bracelet bonds seamlessly with the watch, maintaining the sleek design flow and ensuring a convenient fit. Inclusively, Rolex 168000 Triple OOO is a symbol of luxury, resilience, and innovation, coveted and appreciated by watch admirers across the globe.
