“The archetypal Submariner, an iconic piece of modern engineering brought into the modern era.” Nick Baranga, Founder

When Swiss explorer Auguste Piccard first took his submarine down to an incredible depth of 3,131m, a specially-designed Rolex accompanied him, and emerged from the water keeping perfect time. This was the inspiration for the 1953 introduction of the Rolex Submariner, arguably the most important watch in history, inspiring not only future dive watches but the entire sports watch category. This model, the 124060, blends the classic black and steel Submariner colour scheme with modern updates and cutting-edge engineering. The new, larger Oystersteel case measures a commanding 41mm and features a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, resistant to scratches and fading, with its edges knurled to offer impeccable grip underwater. A luminescent capsule at 12 o’clock ensures legibility even in pitch black conditions, as does the contrast between the thick black dial and its Chromalight hands and hour markers. The watch’s Oyster bracelet features a folding clasp and glidelock diver extension, allowing the wearer to make fine adjustments to the bracelet on the go. A durable, supremely high-quality tool watch.
