David Doubilet

Pioneering DEEP-SEA Photo Journalist 
Keeping The Time Of His Life With Rolex

David Doubilet has been a world-renowned DEEP-SEA, National Geographic photographer since 1971, and is one of the most published photographers in the history of NAT GEO Magazine with over 70 features stories published to date. David has also been a Rolex Testimonee since 1994.

David Doubilet has spent close to 30,000 hours to date in the oceans of the world capturing stunningly insightful aquatic images.

David Doubilet's magnificent pioneering underwater photography is second to none, and he is considered by many to be an international living treasure.

“For the last 30 years, from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, from the Southwest Pacific to the waters off Japan, Mr. Doubilet has captured a world of bejeweled ocean creatures playing on sandy stages: an emerald stingray shadowing a ship in the Bahamas; a golden big-bellied sea horse grazing in a Tasmanian sea.” –Margo Nash, New York Times

1996

Let's begin this fascinating journey by exploring David Doubilet's amazing career through Rolex ads. In this first Rolex magazine ad from 1996, we see David Doubilet wearing his Rolex Submariner.

"What I like best about underwater photography is giving a visual voice to the invisible. What I like least is the prospect of drowning." –David Doubilet

2011

This next David Doubilet Rolex Magazine ad is from 2011, at it features him wearing his Rolex DEEP-SEA SEA-DWELLER.

The Amazing Underwater World Of David Doubilet

David Doubilet is one of the top underwater photographers, if not the greatest. David's trademark photo style, is seen in this first photo, where he keeps the top half of the lens above water, and the bottom half below. This results in an absolutely fascinating perspective, which allows you to simaltaneously see two connected worlds–above and below the water.

This amazing photographic style showcases the constant duality of life, which is typically invisible to both worlds. This style is such a perfect metaphor for the typically invisible interconnectivity of life!!!

How amazing is this next under/over water shot? I love the composition that contrasts two seemingly unrelated world, that are really close together, yet so far apart. Just amazing!!!!!! This photo is absolutely crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

David Doubilet was born in New York in 1946 and he started shooting underwater photographs when he was 12 years old in 1958. He began shooting photos for National Geographic in 1971 and since that time he shot photos for more than 60 stories.

It is crystal-clear to me that David Doubilet is certainly one of the greatest photographers that has ever lived, as well as probably being the greatest aquatic photographer that ever lived.

Rolex Day-Date

Yellow Gold with Green Starburst Dial

This macro shot of a Rolex Day-Date is just AMAZING!!! The color combination of a rainforest green starburst dial with raised yellow gold roman numerals is stunning.

You have to give credit, where credit is due, and in this case, Rolex really did an incredible job in designing the 40MM Rolex Day-Date, which was scaled perfectly from the original 36MM model.

Donald Trump Jr & Tucker Carlson

GMT-MASTER V. DATEJUST

Two guys walk into a bar, wearing Rolex watches...Sorry, I couldn't resist. I always find conversations between to people wearing Rolex to be fascinating, and in this Tucker Carlson interview we see Donald Trump Jr., rocking his new GMT-Master, which I covered in a recent story.

Tucker and Donald Trump Jr. have a fascinating conversation about the current state of politics in the United States today, and I will say I think you are looking at a future President of the United States in the making.

"Mr. October"

Legendary Baseball Player

Pepsi GMT-Master

Paul Boutros from Phillip's Auction House was at the U.S. Open Golf Tournament back in June of 2019 and he snapped this super picture of baseball legend Reggie Jackson (Mr. October) rockin' his vintage Pepsi GMT-Master [Reference 1675].

Seeing Reggie at the U.S. Open reminded me of this vintage Rolex ad from 1969.

As a child, Reggie Jackson was one of my heroes and great role models.

Reggie Jackson is a renowned car collector and obviously a big Rolex collector as we see him sporting many different Rolex watches. In the photos below we see Reggie waring a white gold Rolex Submariner with a blue dial and bezel.

In the two photos below we see Reggie rockin both a white and yellow gold Rolex Daytona.
