This milestone marked the first time the Submariner featured a date window and Rolex's signature Cyclops magnifying lens. By the late 1970s, Rolex began transitioning from acrylic crystals to more robust sapphire crystals. These so called "transitional" models bridged the gap between vintage and modern Submariners, combining elements from both generations.
