In our Reference Points: Understanding The Rolex Submariner, a whole section is dedicated to "The Genesis Of The Submariner." link This idea link of link the Submariner, Explorer, and Turn-O-Graph hitting the market as a trio in May of 1954 was always a part of the "accepted" story. This is not to criticize or debunk a previous Hodinkee article, but more to show what we once thought was correct in the watch community.

Even though link this is a historical drama, I won't spoil the plot. But I will talk about the watches. Both actors' wrists are armed with link timepieces. Majors link wears two watches, and Powell wears one, throughout. Let's start with Powell.

Seems to have been his go-to Bennifer watch.”This was true. Ben wore it in Jen’s immortal “Jenny From The Block” video.
