Rolex Submariner (No Date)

The Rolex Submariner No Date is the original version of the famous diving watch. For the first ten years of its existence, Rolex offered it exclusively without a date. This watch has changed very little over time and remains part of the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer's catalog to this day.

Unlike its sister model with a date display, the Submariner Date, the Submariner No Date is only available with a stainless steel case. In addition, its dial and bezel are always black in color. Advertised as the "diver's friend" when release in 1954, the Rolex Submariner No Date is, of course, water resistant. The earliest models were water resistant to 100 m (10 bar, 328 ft), though Rolex quickly increased this to 200 m (20 bar, 656 ft). The Submariner has been water resistant to 300 m (30 bar, 984 ft) since 1979.

The model with ref. 14060 followed the ref. 5513 in 1988. Rolex equipped this edition with the caliber 3000. It was then replaced over a decade later by ref. 14060M, which was powered by the caliber 3130. You can purchase a 14060 for about 6,800 USD. Never-worn M-models go for around 9,500 USD, while pre-owned models come in at around 7,100 USD.

The ref. 114060 replaced its predecessors in 2012. Its case and crown protector now feel somewhat weightier, and it features a maxi dial with enlarged glow-in-the-dark indices. What's more, the bezel inlay is now made of scratch-resistant black Cerachrom ceramic. The caliber 3130 is still ticking way inside the case, though it now includes a blue Parachrom hairspring. These watches are worn with a stainless steel bracelet featuring an Oysterlock clasp and the practical Glidelock extension system . This system allows the wearer to easily extend the bracelet by five millimeters. Plan to spend around 8,100 USD for a never-worn version of this Submariner No Date. Prices for pre-owned models in very good condition sit around 7,600 USD.
