Witnessed at a dinner with James Cameron after his expedition to the bottom of the ocean, these watches are the actual pieces that visited that depth from the outside of the submarine. First the Deep Sea Special with the Bathyscaphe Trieste on January 23rd, 1960, and again with Cameron and his Deepsea Challenger submarine on March 26, 2012. Both traveled, without additional protection, to an astonishing depth of over 35,000 ft. Dive (a bit) deeper here.
This new Luminor Marina CarbotechTM is worn with a black strap made of SportechTM, a material similar to rubber, adorned with sky-blue overstitching around the edges and closed with a DLC-coated titanium buckle.
Both cases feature a three-piece construction with snapbacks nearly identical to the 2499 (minus chronograph pushers). And, like with the 2499, one is a bit more iconic than the other. Interestingly, in the mid-2010s, most auction houses didn't even acknowledge the different casemakers. Luckily, I could extrapolate information from case serial number ranges to address any gaps in records.
This Submariner is being offered for sale by a collector who goes by the handle @sumnersdr on Instagram. It's been priced to sell at $27,000, and its movement has just been overhauled. Additional photos can be found here.
Cautious optimism seems to permeate the watch industry, thanks largely to the potential growth of the secondary market. It seems unlikely the primary market will grow at 11 percent like it did last year – I'd expect 4 to 5 percent, similar to the December figures, if I had to guess. But hey, the Swiss watch industry has been around for a few hundred years, so it's not exactly a "growth market," broadly speaking.
