The 168000 was produced with 904L stainless steel, while the reference 16800 was made with 316L stainless steel. First introduced in 1979 watch came with new Caliber 3035 movement. Distinct feature of this new movement Rolex introduced first quickset feature in Submariner watches. Unlike its predecessor Model 1680 it was fitted with Sapphire crystal and Ratchet bezel.
