The Rolex Submariner 114060 represents the purest, most uncompromised expression of the legendary 1953 dive watch architecture. Renouncing the date window and magnifying Cyclops lens in favor of flawless dial symmetry, this 40mm model delivers unmatched legibility and clean minimalism. Prized by purist horology collectors, its uncluttered black dial and black ceramic Cerachrom-style bezel embody the foundational tool-watch DNA that defined undersea exploration.
The case is precision-machined from solid 316L Stainless Steel, selected for its structural rigidity, scratch resistance, and long-lasting lustre. Framing the dial is a unidirectional rotating black ceramic bezel (60-minute graduations), engineered with clean, tactile clicks for tracking elapsed time or immersion intervals. A high-clarity scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, treated with an interior anti-reflective coating to guarantee clear visibility under direct sunlight. The black dial features applied hour markers filled with bright luminescent material, complemented by the signature Mercedes hour hand, geometric minute hand, and a lollipop sweeping seconds hand.
Powering the timepiece is a robust automatic mechanical movement operating at a smooth sweeping cadence. Driven by an oscillating bidirectional rotor that winds the mainspring naturally through wrist movement, the caliber provides a steady power reserve for dependable day-to-day operation. The mechanism supports hours, minutes, central sweeping seconds (no-date symmetry), ensuring that date changes snap cleanly at midnight while offering time-setting functionality with solid crown engagement.
For superior wearability, the watch is equipped with a 316l stainless steel oyster bracelet with oysterlock folding safety clasp. The bracelet geometry conforms naturally to the wrist, distributing weight evenly to eliminate fatigue during extended daily wear. Built for the modern active lifestyle, the watch is rated for daily splash resistance (hand-washing, rain, and light surface splashes), though hot water, saunas, and recreational diving should be avoided to preserve mechanical seals. Each timepiece undergoes rigorous multi-point calibration and inspection prior to dispatch, backed by complimentary insured express delivery and our comprehensive 24-month warranty.
