Please note: Some collectors occasionally confuse the Submariner 16803 with the Zenith-powered Daytona models from the same era. To clarify, this Submariner has never been produced with a Zenith movement. The reference 16803 (including this L-series example from approximately 1989/1990) is powered by Rolex’s in-house caliber 3135, a highly regarded automatic movement introduced in 1988 and used in the Submariner Date line for decades. The “Oyster Perpetual Date” text on the dial is standard Submariner wording and does not indicate Zenith.
