Rolex “1999 Diver of The Year” Submariner Reference 14060 Unpolished

This Rolex “No-Date” Submariner reference 14060 dates to circa 1999 with an A serial. It is a great modern Submariner, before the switch to ceramic bezels. It measures 40mm in diameter and features a black ‘white gold surrounds’ dial with super luminova plots. It comes with a Rolex Oyster bracelet reference 93150 with an X clasp code dating to circa 1999 as well which is original to the watch. The case and bracelet are in great condition and appear to be unpolished. It features a “SWISS” only dial with LumiNova. The watch features a caseback inscription that reads "Hillary Viders 1999 DAN/Rolex Diver of the Year”.

The watch was awarded to Hillary Viders through the Divers Alert Network. According to DAN, “Hillary Viders is a conservationist, speaker, educator, and diver whose dive specialties include marine science and conservation, undersea and hyperbaric medicine, shipwreck exploration, and dive accident management.

Dr. Viders also co-founded the Women Divers Hall of Fame. Her work in science and dive medicine has been published in thousands of publications and books and earned her many awards.”

Viders was the first woman to receive the DAN in 1999. For those looking for an incredible no-date Submariner, this is a special watch with great provenance.
