Vintage 1960s Rolex Submariner 'Any Level' Print Advertisement — Original Dive Watch Original Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1960s Rolex Submariner magazine advertisement captures the watch's legendary dual identity with razor-sharp wit: 'We invented the Submariner to work perfectly 660 feet under the sea. It seems to work pretty well at any level.' The black-and-white original print ad depicts a woman's hand admiring the Submariner on a suited man's wrist as he holds a cocktail — the Royal Navy's official diver's watch crashing the cocktail party with effortless authority. Body copy references Bermuda ocean racing, the Hobart and Fastnet Rock races, and the immortal line, 'Maybe it's because the black dial goes so well with a black tie.' A genuinely collectible ad from Rolex's golden copywriting era, combining adventure pedigree with cosmopolitan charm in a single unforgettable image.
