The Rolex Submariner is considered an icon whose design is among the most recognizable in the field of dive watches.
Production of the Submariner 5508 ended in 1962 with several dial variations that all used Tritium luminous material. The “Exclamation point” dial got its name from a small dot of luminous material below the index at 6:00 that gave the shape of an exclamation point. The dials with this peculiarity stand for the fact that tritium luminous material was used on the dial and therefore less radiation was present. In addition, this Submariner 5508 has one of the few dials that have “Four Lines” above the index at 6:00 compared to the standard two. The additional lines, “Officially Certified Superlative Chronometer,” also called “SCOC,” mean that the movement was officially tested and certified by the “Bureaux Suisses” (Swiss Institutes for Official Chronometer).
Such certification involved additional expense and time to obtain it, so very few Submariners have followed this process and have this dial variant and obviously a better movement, cal.1560. This watch is a true rarity, try to find another one available and in this condition….. best wishes.
