Rolex Submariner 124060

This is the purist's Submariner. The reference 124060—no date window, no Cyclops lens, nothing to interrupt the perfect symmetry of that deep black dial. Just the iconic Mercedes hands, those luminescent hour markers, and the uncluttered elegance that made the Submariner a legend in the first place. This is the Submariner exactly as Rolex envisioned it in 1953, now refined with seven decades of engineering evolution.

Dated 2021, this 124060 represents the current generation of the no-date Submariner, introduced in 2020 with subtle but significant updates. The 41mm Oystersteel case wears beautifully—slightly larger than its predecessor but perfectly proportioned, with reshaped lugs that hug the wrist more comfortably than ever. That black Cerachrom bezel is virtually scratchproof, its engraved numerals filled with platinum using PVD technology that ensures they'll remain crisp and legible for generations. The unidirectional rotation clicks with that satisfying precision only Rolex achieves.

The dial's symmetry is what captures enthusiasts. Without the date complication, your eye travels naturally across a perfectly balanced composition—the kind of visual harmony that Swiss watchmaking spent centuries perfecting. Those Chromalight hour markers glow bright blue in darkness, ensuring legibility in the deepest, darkest conditions. The Mercedes handset remains one of the most recognizable silhouettes in horology, functional yet iconic.

Inside beats the Calibre 3230 movement, entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This is the no-date version of their latest generation movements—a certified Superlative Chronometer accurate to +2/-2 seconds per day with an impressive 70-hour power reserve. The Chronergy escapement improves efficiency, the Paraflex shock absorbers provide resistance to impacts, and that blue Parachrom hairspring is antimagnetic and ten times more resistant to shocks than traditional hairsprings. This Submariner doesn't just look the part—it performs flawlessly.

Water-resistant to 300 metres, which exceeds the depths that recreational divers ever reach, this is a tool watch in the truest sense. The Triplock winding crown screws down against the case with triple sealed zones, ensuring absolute protection. The Oyster bracelet—that three-piece link design that's graced professional Rolex sports watches for decades—features the Oysterlock folding safety clasp and the ingenious Glidelock extension system, allowing precise adjustments in 2mm increments without any tools. Perfect for wearing over a wetsuit, or just achieving that exact comfortable fit.

This piece arrives as a complete set: the warranty card dated 2021, the green Rolex wallet, both outer and inner presentation boxes, all swing tags intact. Everything a Submariner should come with, providing full provenance and complete peace of mind. The condition reflects careful ownership—this is a Submariner that's been appreciated, not abused.

The no-date Submariner has always been the collector's choice, the purist's preference, the watch for those who understand that perfection requires nothing extra. While the date models offer practical functionality, the 124060 offers something more valuable: visual perfection. That dial symmetry creates a sense of calm, of rightness, that you notice every time you glance at your wrist.

Dated 2021 means this Submariner is essentially contemporary, benefiting from Rolex's very latest manufacturing standards and materials, yet it's already navigated those crucial first years that prove a watch's quality. The 124060 represents immediate access to the Submariner—no waiting lists stretching into uncertainty, no hoping your name gets called. Just the opportunity to own the most iconic dive watch ever created, ready to wear today.

This is the Submariner in its purest form. No compromises, no distractions, no date complication to service decades from now. Just 300 metres of capability, seven decades of heritage, and that perfect black dial staring back at you. The Submariner 124060 doesn't need to explain itself. It simply is.

Your wrist is ready for this.
