Rolex Submariner (No Date)

The Story of the Rolex Submariner (No Date) – A Return to the Essence

The Rolex Submariner was introduced in 1953 as the first diver's watch with water resistance to 100 meters. The first model, the reference 6204, did not have a date display and laid the foundation for one of the world's most recognizable watches. While Rolex later introduced the Submariner Date with a Cyclops magnifying glass, the no-date version always remained closely aligned with the original idea of ​​a functional, pure diver's watch.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Submariner No Date was further developed with models such as the 5513 and the 14060. These references emphasized maximum legibility, a clear dial design, and robustness. In 2012, the 114060 was the first version with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel to be launched. Since 2020, the 124060 has been a modernized version with a 41 mm case and the new caliber 3230.

Design & Functions – Purism meets modern technology

The Rolex Submariner (No Date) combines the classic Submariner design with cutting-edge technology. Its 41 mm Oystersteel case is extremely durable, while the unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel with diving scale allows for precise timekeeping underwater.

The dial remains particularly clear thanks to the absence of a date display. The large hour markers with Chromalight luminous material ensure optimal legibility, even in poor lighting conditions. Inside is the Caliber 3230, a precise automatic movement with a 70-hour power reserve and maximum reliability.
