The Rolex Submariner 114060 holds a special place in the Submariner lineage as the modern no-date variant, introduced in 2012. This reference brought the Submariner into the contemporary era with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel, solid Oyster bracelet, and the updated “Super Case,” offering a bolder profile while retaining the classic 40mm diameter. Collectors appreciate the 114060 for its clean, symmetrical dial—free of a date window or cyclops—echoing the pure tool-watch spirit of early Submariners.
Key differences between the 114060 and its predecessor, the 14060M, include the use of the caliber 3130 with blue Parachrom hairspring, a sturdier bracelet with Glidelock clasp, and the aforementioned ceramic bezel, which resists scratches and fading far better than older aluminum inserts. The 114060’s maxi dial and larger markers improve legibility, making it a favorite among those who want a modern Submariner without date complication or vintage quirks.
Pricing for the 114060 typically runs above retail on the secondary market, driven by its discontinued status after 2020 and strong demand for no-date models. Condition, full set status (box and papers), and bracelet stretch are key value drivers. The 114060’s water resistance remains at 300 meters, and its robust movement is known for reliability and ease of service. Those seeking a Submariner with modern materials, classic proportions, and a clean dial layout will find the 114060 a compelling choice within the Submariner family.
What owners love
- The symmetry and clean look of the no-date dial set it apart from most other Submariners, giving it a distinctive, purist appeal.
- The solid, substantial feel of the ceramic bezel and Oyster case make it feel noticeably more robust and modern than older five-digit Subs.
- Owners praise the Glidelock clasp for its easy, tool-free micro-adjustments that make daily wear especially comfortable and convenient.
Common Criticisms
- The lugs are noticeably wide and square, leading to a "slab-sided" appearance that many feel makes the case look bulkier and less elegant than previous generations.
- The 3130 movement lacks the latest Rolex advancements like a longer power reserve and Paraflex shock absorbers found in newer models.
- The high-gloss ceramic bezel, while durable, is prone to showing fingerprints and smudges easily, requiring frequent cleaning to look its best.
