In partnership with Wallpaper*, the book "The Submariner: A Comprehensive History of the First Dive Watch" provides a detailed overview of the iconic Rolex Submariner. Authored by historian and watch writer Nick Foulkes, this book is the first authorized account of the Submariner's true history.
The Submariner, known as the world's most famous dive watch, is finally getting the recognition it deserves. This book, published in both English and French, runs for 252 pages and is the result of a collaboration between Rolex and Wallpaper* magazine.
This book is just the beginning of a series of publications dedicated to Rolex's iconic timepieces. It promises to offer far more than just a dry account of history and technical details. Foulkes brings drama to the stories, including the experiences of the "pioneers who tested prototypes."
As a historian with a passion for watches, Foulkes expresses his gratitude for the opportunity to access the Rolex archives and share the authorized accounts of these historic timepieces. He aims to do justice to the fascinating tale of Rolex and its contributions to history.
Alongside the historical accounts, the book also showcases Rolex Testimonees and their contributions to environmental exploration and protection. This is in line with Rolex's Perpetual Planet Initiative, which supports organizations and individuals dedicated to preserving the environment.
The book, available for international sale, offers the reader a comprehensive understanding of the Submariner's significance. There is also a limited edition silk-bound version for collectors.
