A reason for this power is how relatively unchanged the no-date Sub has been since its inception. It's maintained its core design ethos: Black bezel, black dial, large markers, and the iconic oyster bracelet. Any evolution has been subtle. In 2012, the Submariner became a more elevated version of the aluminum-bezel, stamped-clasp watch that withstood six decades. The updated Submariner ref. 114060 was the watch reborn. It had a new heavy-duty bracelet and clasp system, as well as a sleek (and oh so shiny) Cerachrom bezel. The cool watch got a lot more luxurious but, to the naked eye, it was the same. It had the same spirit and could take more of a beating than ever before.
Eight years later, in August of 2020, Rolex made simultaneously its biggest and most unnoticeable changes to the Sub by introducing the Reference 124060 – a 41mm watch with an improved case profile, slimmer lugs, slightly different bracelet construction, and a new in-house movement. So a watch that had come to be defined by its 40mm sizing was now no longer 40mm in diameter. How would that change the wearing experience, the cool factor, the Submariner-ness? I wore one for a week to find out.
