COMEX received its 1680 Submariners in 1978 , eight years after the
production of the classic 1680 . At this time divers, were equipped with the 5513/14 and had
just received the famous Sea Dweller 1665 .
So , what was it to do with a 200 meters no HEV watch ? Some were given to
divers for non saturation dive and most of them were given to employees , customer and suppliers .
This one belonged to the COMEX food supplier .It was offered by Mr. Delauze
(founder) for his 30th birthday . He was the only owner .
Most of 1680 COMEX were resold and redialed as normal Rolex watches as many
owners didn't really like the advertisement on the dial and the case back. Poor
guys , if they knew... COMEX received approximately 60 examples
The 1680 in pictures :
When this watch was purchased, it had been 28 years without service , but it still
worked perfectly .
Here is the watch before (left) and after service.
