NOTES: The Submariner 1680 “Red Sub” MK4 marks one of the final evolutions of the early red-text Submariner era — where tool watch function started turning into vintage icon status.⁠
What sets the MK4 apart is the dial printing: the red “SUBMARINER” sits layered over the white text beneath it, giving it a subtle stacked effect that really comes alive up close.⁠
