Rolex Submariner Date 41 Steel 126610LN - 2020

Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 126610LN 

The Rolex Submariner Date with reference 126610LN from 2020 marks the beginning of a new era for the world’s most famous diving watch. Unveiled by Rolex in September 2020, this generation replaced the long-standing reference 116610LN and brought the eagerly awaited update by collectors: a case gently grown to 41 mm with significantly slimmer, more elegant lugs. This model generation combines the best of two worlds – the visual harmony of classic vintage proportions with the most advanced watch technology of today. An absolute cult classic and the undisputed reference among luxury sports watches.

• Perfected proportions (41-mm case): The case made of extremely corrosion-resistant Oystersteel (904L stainless steel) grew to 41 mm in diameter, but appears noticeably more elegant and balanced on the wrist thanks to the finely drawn, slimmer lugs compared to the predecessor model with Supercase.

• The resilient Cerachrom ceramic bezel: The unidirectional rotating diver’s bezel is equipped with a black insert made of patented Cerachrom ceramic. It is practically scratch-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and UV-resistant. The recessed numerals and graduations are coated with a fine platinum layer using the PVD process for perfect legibility.

• Brilliantly deep dial with Chromalight: The deep black dial impresses with its enlarged indices and hands made of 18-carat White Gold, which prevent tarnishing over the decades. The Chromalight luminescent material guarantees excellent legibility in the dark and underwater with its long-lasting blue glow.

• Scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal with Cyclops lens: An extremely hard, anti-reflective Sapphire Crystal protects the dial. At 3 o’clock is the unmistakable Rolex Cyclops lens, which magnifies the Date by two and a half times for quick orientation in everyday life.

• Groundbreaking manufacture caliber 3235: Inside beats the automatic movement of the latest generation. Equipped with the patented Chronergy escapement and the blue Parachrom hairspring, the movement offers an outstanding power reserve of approximately 70 hours as well as unmatched precision of -2/+2 seconds per day.

• Uncompromising professional diving performance (300m / 30 ATM): Thanks to the triple-secure Triplock winding crown and the hermetically screwed case back, the Submariner Date effortlessly withstands water pressure up to a depth of 300 meters.

• Oyster bracelet with Glidelock system: The classic is worn on the three-link Oystersteel bracelet with satin-finished surfaces. The Oysterlock safety folding clasp features the ingenious Glidelock fine adjustment system, allowing the bracelet length to be adjusted in fine 2-mm increments up to 20 mm without tools.

• Spectacular premiere model (year 2020): As a specimen from the first year of this generation, the Submariner 126610LN from 2020 not only holds special historical significance for collectors but embodies the most modern evolutionary stage of the diving watch icon – extremely sought after, absolutely value-stable, and ready for every day.
