Authentic Framed 1967 Vintage Print Ad Submariner “If you shipped out on the Skate, the Shark, or the Nautilus, you’d recognize this face”

Museum framed authentic (no-reprint) Rolex advertisement featuring the Rolex Submariner, issued in 1967. This is a rare and highly sought-after ad from the early years of Rolex’s deep association with naval and professional diving missions. The headline directly references U.S. Navy submarines such as the USS Skate, Shark, and Nautilus invoking Rolex’s trusted role in underwater exploration and military precision.

The image is stark and powerful: a close-up of a Navy officer’s wrist showing the iconic Submariner in action. The accompanying text underscores the Rolex Submariner’s legendary status as a tool watch, trusted by submariners and divers around the world. With its rotating bezel, robust Oyster case, and exceptional depth rating, this ad clearly illustrates why Rolex earned its place in professional circles long before it became a luxury symbol.

This print is part of a short-run campaign and far less commonly found than later ads from the 1970s, making it a rare collector’s piece especially in preserved condition and professionally framed.
