Launched in 2012, the no-date Rolex Submariner came to market for people to grasp its beauty. It didn’t take it long to attract customers and watch lovers from all over the world. Later in 2020, the company came up with a new model that was based on its previous model. Slightly longer and thicker in terms of dimensions, the 2020 watch was available in the marketplace throughout the world. Later that year, it was declared that this model will be discontinued in terms of production. Now, Rolex no longer makes this fine piece however, if you’re interested, you can try some secondhand sources at competitive prices. There are many stores online with whom you can discuss the prices and check the condition of the watch they are selling.  Start hunting for it!

Features of the Rolex Submariner 114060

To make things easier, we will be diving into the features of the Rolex Submariner 114060 below.

In terms of dimensions, most Rolex watches range from having a 36mm diameter to 42mm with the most commonly used one being 40mm. The Rolex Submariner 114060 with its bezel makes it look larger than the normal models so a 40mm looks one or two centimeters bigger than it actually is.

The lugs on these watches are a whooping 12.8 mm thick and the dial ends are linked to each other with a 48.1mm length. If you wear the watch with closed clasps, you will end up with a 51 mm belt across your wrist. The watch has a circumference that equals 16 centimeters.

The no-date Submariner is made from stainless steel which can be worn with dress sleeves or formal attires. Its three-link oyster bracelet is both smart and elegant which has its sides polished. The links can be removed and the clamshell system makes the locks stick efficiently.

The iconic Rolex symbol comes on the side of the watch and the belt usually has a little curve to open the clasps using your fingers. The Rolex Submariner 114060 has a double lock system that makes sure your watch is adjusted and fits perfectly. That being said, you might have to lift the second lock manually to open the watch out of your hand.

This Rolex model like most others is water-resistant and you can take it up to 300 meters deep in the water so it is great for deep-sea diving. The bezel is equipped with a 120 click system and it’s pretty smooth to move around. You can set your timers fast and easily if needed with this feature.

The material of the Rolex Submariner 114060 is highly scratch-resistant ceramic and the deposits near numerals are made of platinum which gives it the cool silver touch.

The last but not the least feature is what Rolex is famous for. Yes, the accuracy and movement flexibility of this model is incredible. After all, it’s Rolex!

Comfort

Most ornament watches tend to be heavy or scratch through your skin in an unpleasant fashion. Fortunately, the Rolex Submariner 114060 is not one of them. The watch is designed to have as few edges as possible and the steel body is trimmed to fit wrists of most sizes.

The bubble back of this watch contributes significantly to making this piece comfortable to wear. How does it do that? Well, it lifts the diameter of your watch by one or two millimeters so that your wrist has extra space to clear out. This feature allows you to use your wrist flexibly. During swimming or driving, wearing too tight watches can leave marks on your skin however, with this model, it can never be too tight, so that’s great news!

The metal band is made as intricate as possible however there are no sharp peaks or areas that will scratch or trap your hair out.

Another significant aspect of this watch is that the Glidelock on the sub helps you adjust your watch whenever and wherever you want to. This is important with climate and weather changing as this watch is made of metal and metals expand slightly with a temperature rise. If such happens, you can easily turn your glide lock down and adjust your belt as per your comfort. In cooler regions, you might have to do the opposite i.e. make your watch looser. Note that, some people think wearing watches loose is good, however, wearing in that fashion gives you less control of your ornament. There’s also a higher chance for you to hit your watch with something while moving your arms up and down. The face, also known as the dial of your watch will side out to ends.

Appearance

Words might not be enough to describe the true legendary beauty and elegance of this piece. The edges are beautifully shaped and the perfect placement of objects over it is just stunning. The dial is deep black in color to highlight the silver numerals and circle representations. The overall color combination sure contributes to the elegance of the watch.

Conclusion

The Rolex models all are unique in their own ways however when it comes to this masterpiece, the smart look it gives with a proper symmetry makes it look trendy and classic at the same time. It does lack a date feature because some of their previous customers just didn’t like the spot it creates. In fact, it’s great to see some changes, isn’t it?

If you’re looking for something classic and professional that can go with almost all kinds of suits, the Rolex Submariner 114060 is a great choice for you. Trust us, it’s worth it!
