The Rolex “Bluesy,” a nickname given to the Rolex Submariner with a blue bezel, has captured the attention of watch enthusiasts and investors alike. This distinctive timepiece, characterized by its striking blue coloration and robust Submariner design, has become an icon within the Rolex lineup.
The Rolex Submariner Bluesy first emerged in the 1970s when Rolex introduced the reference 1665, often referred to as the “Double Red Sea-Dweller.” Featuring a blue dial and bezel, this iteration marked the beginning of the Bluesy legacy. The blue hue not only added a touch of elegance to the Submariner but also became synonymous with the watch’s identity.
The allure of the Rolex Bluesy lies in its distinctive design elements. The blue bezel, typically made from Cerachrom in modern iterations for enhanced durability, adds a vibrant and captivating dimension to the watch. Paired with a dark blue dial, the combination creates a sense of balance and contrast that has proven timeless.
The Rolex Submariner, upon which the Bluesy is based, has a storied history as one of the most iconic dive watches. Originally designed for professional divers, its robust construction, water resistance, and rotating bezel for measuring elapsed time underwater have made it a symbol of durability and functionality.
This watch has been fully serviced by our inhouse Rolex technicians and comes with a 2-year warranty. Additionally, all our watches are provided with a complimentary valuation for insurance and authenticity purposes.
