Rolex Submariner 114060-0002 Review

1. Overview

The Rolex Submariner 114060-0002 is the “No-Date” version of the Submariner line — a 40 mm stainless steel dive watch that perfectly combines the heritage of the Submariner with modern materials and finishing. Introduced in 2012 and produced until 2020, it retains the classic 40 mm case size while incorporating Rolex’s advancements such as the Cerachrom ceramic bezel and the “Maxi” case design.

2. Case & Materials

The 40 mm case is crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 904L Oystersteel, a highly corrosion-resistant alloy known for exceptional strength and luster. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a black Cerachrom insert with platinum-coated numerals and markers, offering outstanding scratch resistance and durability. The watch maintains water resistance up to 300 meters (1,000 feet) with its Triplock screw-down crown and robust Oyster case.

3. Dial & Bezel

The black dial of the 114060-0002 showcases a clean, symmetrical appearance thanks to the absence of a date window. The larger “Maxi” hour markers and Mercedes-style hands are filled with Chromalight luminous material, emitting a long-lasting blue glow for superior legibility in low-light environments. The overall design strikes a perfect balance between utility and elegance.

4. Movement & Performance

Powering the Submariner 114060-0002 is the Rolex Caliber 3130 — a self-winding mechanical movement known for its precision and durability. Operating at 28,800 vph, it provides a 48-hour power reserve. The Caliber 3130 is COSC-certified and meets Rolex’s stringent Superlative Chronometer standards, ensuring remarkable accuracy and reliability.

5. Bracelet & Comfort

The Oyster bracelet, made entirely of solid-link Oystersteel, is equipped with the Oysterlock safety clasp and Glidelock extension system, allowing for micro-adjustments without tools. This ensures a secure and comfortable fit whether worn on land or over a wetsuit. Despite its robust build, the 40 mm case sits comfortably on the wrist and suits both casual and formal wear.

6. Collector Appeal & Market Value

As the final 40 mm No-Date Submariner before the introduction of the newer 41 mm generation, the 114060-0002 holds strong collector appeal. Its combination of modern materials, classic proportions, and understated aesthetics makes it a highly desirable model. Since discontinuation, its value has steadily appreciated among collectors and enthusiasts.

7. Pros & Cons

8. Conclusion
