The story
The no-date Submariner ref. 124060 was introduced in September 2020 as part of a broad refresh of the Submariner family that also brought new colored-bezel Submariner Date models. It replaced the ref. 114060, which had been in production since 2012, and it kept the model's traditional formula of a black dial, black ceramic bezel, and no date window, a configuration favored by buyers who prefer the cleaner dial of the earlier Submariners from the 1950s and 1960s. The headline change from the 114060 was a larger 41mm case, up from 40mm, achieved through a case and lug reshaping that Rolex says kept the lug-to-lug length close to the outgoing model despite the wider dial opening. The movement also changed, from the caliber 3130 with a 48-hour power reserve to the caliber 3230 with roughly 70 hours, and the bracelet grew from 20mm to 21mm at the lugs with tighter fitting links. The no-date Submariner has held a specific place in the range since the 1950s as the purist's version of the dive watch, since Rolex has offered both dated and non-dated Submariners for most of the model's history, with the no-date usually reserved for the steel, non-precious-metal case options.
What to check before you buy
Buyers coming from the 114060 should try the 124060 on before assuming size continuity, since the 1mm case increase and wider bracelet change the way the watch wears even though the lug-to-lug dimension is similar. The clasp's Glidelock extension system lets the bracelet be adjusted in small increments without tools, which is worth testing in person since it is a common point of confusion for buyers new to the reference. As with any current ceramic-bezel Rolex sport watch, check that the bezel insert is free of chips, that the bezel clicks evenly through its 120 clicks, and that the full box and papers set is present, since the no-date Submariner remains one of the more sought after references in the current catalog.

Common questions
What is the difference between the 114060 and 124060 Submariner?
The 124060 has a larger 41mm case versus 40mm, a wider 21mm bracelet, and the newer caliber 3230 movement with about 70 hours of power reserve compared to 48 hours in the 114060.
Why does the no-date Submariner not have a date window?
Rolex has offered both dated and non-dated Submariners since the 1950s, and the no-date version keeps the cleaner three-hand dial layout that many collectors associate with the earliest Submariner references.
How water resistant is the 124060?
It is rated to 300 meters, the standard depth rating for the modern Submariner family, well beyond what recreational scuba diving requires.
What movement does the current no-date Submariner use?
It uses the Rolex caliber 3230, a self-winding movement with a Chronergy escapement and roughly 70 hours of power reserve.
Can the 124060 bracelet be adjusted without tools?
Yes, the clasp includes Rolex's Glidelock extension system, which allows small tool-free adjustments to the bracelet length.
