The Untold Story of the Birth of the
ROLEX SUBMARINER TOOL WATCH
For years, I've been immersed in crafting a 25-volume series, THE ROLEX CHRONICLES: A FASCINATING JOURNEY THROUGH TIME. My latest book volume is titled "Rolex Submariner: The Real History", which represents a monumental leap forward, and I'm thrilled to share a glimpse of the in-depth preview Nick Gould and I are preparing for RolexMagazine.com.
Countless books, articles, and blogs have attempted to unravel the genesis of the Rolex Submariner, the iconic diving tool watch. Yet, none have fully pieced together the puzzle—until now.
Nick Gould and I have spent years meticulously researching and constantly reexamining and scrutinizing every detail, and we're confident we've cracked the Submariner's origin story code in its entirety. This largely untold chapter in Rolex history reveals groundbreaking insights, including the pivotal role of Dimitri Rebikoff, an inventor and Director of the Submarine Research Institute. Rebikoff not only collaborated with Rolex to design the Submariner diving tool watch, but also rigorously tested its early prototypes, proudly wearing one on his wrist, as captured in the stunning, never before seen photo on the cover of my upcoming book (pictured above).
This upcoming story is filled with unexpected game-changing revelations on the relationship between Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Dimitri Rebikoff, as was discovered in two different recent interviews I conducted with close friends of Rebikoff who dove with him as young men. Jacques-Yves Cousteau is pictured below back in the mid 1950s wearing an early version of the Rolex Submariner diving watch.
While the final publication date is still in the works, we aim to share this captivating book preview story within the next month. Stay tuned for a deep dive journey into the heart of the Submariner's legacy as it's never been told or seen before!
