Vintage 1970 Rolex Submariner America's Cup Print Advertisement — Original Intrepid Sailing Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1970 Rolex Submariner magazine advertisement captures one of the most dramatic sailing moments in sports history — the America's Cup start line aboard the victorious yacht Intrepid, framed inside the watch's iconic black bezel. The bold headline reads 'The America's Cup. 5 seconds before start,' with copy noting that every Cup winner over the prior 20 years had worn a Rolex, endorsed by Captain Bill Ficker. A landmark collectible ad from Rolex's golden era of aspirational sport marketing, this original print ad is a cornerstone piece for serious watch and sailing collectors alike.
