Dive watch, tool watch, sport watch...the Rolex Submariner is all of these things. If you trace it back to its roots you’ll find a timepiece that defied its underwater branding to become something else entirely: A stone-cold icon on dry land.

Naysayers often grouse that the Submariner is too common, that it's an uninspired choice, that it’s basically a cliche. None of that is true. But the thing is popular, and that’s because it’s good. And has been for decades.
