Gratitude Extended by Left-Handed Watch Connoisseurs to Robert Redford
In the world of Hollywood, the choice of a watch can often be as iconic as the roles played by its wearer. One such example is the Rolex Single-Red Submariner ref. 1680, a timepiece that was Robert Redford's regular wrist companion for many years.
This highly desirable and discerning choice was first noticed on Redford's right wrist in the 1976 film All The President's Men. However, Redford was wearing the Rolex Single-Red Submariner ref. 1680 in his film roles even before this landmark movie. One of the earliest appearances was in the 1972 film The Candidate, where Redford wore the watch in his role as Bill McKay.
The Rolex Single-Red Submariner ref. 1680 was not just a loaner for these films. In fact, Redford owned the watch, making it a personal favourite. The watch's visibility in his various film roles added to its iconic status.
The Rolex Single-Red Submariner ref. 1680 was the first Submariner to feature a date window. For the first two years of its production, the word 'Submariner' on the watch's face was in red. This watch was COSC-certified, ensuring its precision and reliability.
Robert Redford, an actor, director, and producer, was known for his left-handedness. Interestingly, he wore the Rolex Single-Red Submariner ref. 1680 on his right wrist, a choice that made wearing a watch on the right wrist socially acceptable.
The Rolex Single-Red Submariner ref. 1680 is versatile, working in any situation according to James Dowling, the author of numerous books on Rolex. Dowling wrote 'The Rolex Legacy' this year, providing insights into the world of Rolex and its iconic timepieces.
Paul Altieri, the founder and CEO of Bob's Watches, an online marketplace for watches, has also acknowledged the significance of the Rolex Single-Red Submariner ref. 1680. This watch, with its rich history and iconic status, continues to be a highly sought-after collectible in the world of watches.
