Rolex Submariner No Date Ref. 114060 2012

The essence of the modern Submariner

Introduced in 2012, the Rolex Submariner No Date Ref. 114060 marks an important milestone in the history of the Geneva manufacture’s famous dive watch. The first no-date Submariner to adopt the ceramic Cerachrom bezel and the “Maxi Case,” it embodies the perfect balance between historical heritage and contemporary innovation. Produced until 2020, this reference is now considered one of the modern Submariners most sought after by collectors.

With no date window and no Cyclops lens, it appeals to lovers of understatement through the perfect symmetry of its black dial. This configuration pays tribute to the first Submariners of the 1950s and makes the 114060 the direct descendant of the original dive watch.

A timeless design

The 40 mm Oyster case, machined from 904L Oystersteel, offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and to the most demanding conditions. Its unidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with a virtually scratchproof black Cerachrom insert, whose engraved graduations ensure excellent legibility.

The matte black dial features the famous “Maxi” hour markers in white gold filled with Chromalight luminescent material, offering remarkable visibility in the dark. The sapphire crystal, without a Cyclops lens, reinforces the model’s aesthetic balance.

A proven movement

At the heart of this Submariner beats the Rolex caliber 3130, a self-winding mechanical movement developed entirely in-house. Renowned for its robustness, precision and reliability, it features a blue Parachrom hairspring that resists magnetic fields and temperature variations.

COSC-certified as a chronometer, this movement is a benchmark for performance and accompanies this watch in every everyday situation as well as in the most extreme environments.

A true tool watch

Water-resistant to 300 meters (1,000 feet) thanks to its screw-down Triplock crown, the Submariner 114060 remains an authentic professional dive watch.

Its Oyster bracelet with three solid links is fitted with the famous Glidelock system, allowing precise, tool-free length adjustment for optimal comfort on the wrist.

Why choose the reference 114060?

For many enthusiasts, the 114060 is the last true 40 mm “No Date” Submariner. It brings together all the historical codes of the collection while benefiting from the most modern technical advances.

Its perfectly symmetrical dial, robust movement and now-discontinued production make it a particularly sought-after watch on the collectible watch market.

Chronostyle’s view

The Rolex Submariner 114060 is a must-have for any lover of fine sports watches. It represents the perfect compromise between tradition and modernity, while retaining the Submariner’s original DNA thanks to its no-date dial. Its timeless design, legendary robustness and excellent value retention make it an ideal piece, whether as a first Rolex or to enrich a discerning collection.
