Ditulis oleh: Alvin Wong Dicipta: 25 November 2020

A back-to-basics Rolex Submariner that shines.

Among the slew of coveted new Submariner models that Rolex has marched out for 2020, the ‘No Date’ Ref. 124060 set itself apart with its throwback spirit that harks to the early Submariner offerings, prior to the introduction of a date display with , Cyclops lens to the collection in 1969.

In fact, the Submariner Ref. 124060 as the only non-date model in this line-up, with the rest of the offerings available with the date display in a variety of metals and colour combinations.

The Rolex Submariner ‘No Date’ is loved by fans mostly for its neat dial symmetry, which lends a bit more credence to its tool watch allure, and the new Ref. 124060 is a vision of utilitarianism clad in Oystersteel with black dial and black unidirectional bezel with Cerachrom insert.

Like the Submariner Date variants of 2020, this model features a number of tweaks on the inside and out. The new case now measures 41mm, up from 40mm diameter. The slight increase in size meant that adjustments have to be made elsewhere – namely more tapered and slimmer lugs, as well as broader centre links – so that the watch looks proportionate and wears snugly.

Also new to the Submariner Date is the Calibre 3230, which was launched earlier this year to replace the Calibre 3130 that has served the model since 2001. The new engine promises even better precision, robustness and energy efficiency, featuring Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement, proprietary blue Parachrom antimagnetic hairspring that is 10 times more resistant to shocks than regular hairsprings, and new barrel architecture that contributes to almost 70 hours of power reserve.

Being a flag-bearing dive watch with 66 years of history, the new-gen Rolex Submariner Ref. 124060 continues to live up to this high-performance legacy with 300m water resistance fortified by Rolex’s Triplock winding crown fitted with a triple waterproofness system, blue Chromalight display on the hands and indices, and Super Chronometer rating of +/-2 seconds deviation per day.

A faithful proponent of the horological belief that the tiniest details matter, Rolex has been true to its modus operandi with the refurbishment of the Submariner collection. There isn’t a need to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, when it has the tools to make the best wheel possible.
