The reference 1680 was first introduced in 1967 and the run ended in approximately 1979/80. It was the very first Submariner with a date complication and now known as the Submariner Date.
The present example is a "White Submariner" fitted with a Mark 1 dial featuring closed 6's. The "SUBMARINER" line is the same width as the depth rating line and the 'L' in Rolex is perfectly in the middle under the Rolex coronet logo.
