The Rolex Submariner 124060 marks a pivotal update in the lineage of the world’s most celebrated dive watch, debuting in 2020 with a subtle yet impactful redesign. This no-date Submariner returns to the clean, purpose-driven aesthetic of the earliest models, while introducing a slightly larger 41mm case and refined proportions that collectors have quickly come to appreciate. Its introduction coincided with Rolex’s move to the next generation of in-house movements, making it a touchstone for both modernity and tradition within the Submariner family.

Reference 124060 distinguishes itself from its predecessor, the 114060, with a broader bracelet, slimmer lugs, and the upgraded Caliber 3230—bringing a 70-hour power reserve and enhanced precision. The absence of a date window keeps the dial symmetrical and true to the original Submariner spirit, while the ceramic Cerachrom bezel and 300m water resistance ensure it’s as functional as it is iconic. The Glidelock clasp allows for rapid micro-adjustments, a practical touch for daily wear or diving use.

Price variation is driven by condition, full set status (box and papers), and year of production, though the 124060’s recency means most examples are still under warranty. Earlier models may command a premium for unworn status or rare first-year production cards. Unlike vintage Subs, aftermarket modifications are rare and not a major concern here; focus instead on bracelet stretch and the presence of all original links. This reference is a mainstay in the modern Rolex sports lineup—expect high demand and minimal discounts, especially for pieces with complete accessories.

What owners love

  • The updated 41mm case proportions and slimmer lugs are widely praised for restoring the classic Submariner look while improving wrist presence and comfort.
  • The action and feel of the new ceramic bezel are considered a standout feature, with a satisfying, precise click and scratch resistance that holds up over years of wear.
  • Owners frequently highlight the Glidelock clasp system for its unmatched micro-adjustability, allowing on-the-fly sizing changes without tools.

Common Criticisms

  • The polished center links on the bracelet are prone to showing fingerprints and hairline scratches much more quickly than the brushed surfaces.
  • Many find the watch difficult to purchase at retail due to persistent dealer waitlists and lack of availability, despite being a regular production model.
  • The lack of an AR coating on the crystal leads to noticeable reflections and glare under certain lighting conditions, making the dial harder to read.
