The Rolex Submariner 114060 pairs the uncluttered no-date dial with the broad shoulders of Rolex’s ceramic-bezel generation. It’s the one to consider if you love the Submariner’s symmetry but want a more substantial wrist presence than the earlier aluminum-bezel models.

Introduced in 2012, it replaced the 14060M, bringing a ceramic bezel insert, solid-link bracelet, and Glidelock clasp to the no-date Submariner. That clasp is a meaningful everyday improvement: you can fine-tune the fit without tools as your wrist changes through the day. The familiar 3130 remained inside until the 124060 succeeded this reference in 2020, with slimmer lugs and a new movement.

The choice here is mostly about proportions, rather than chasing a particular production year. Those wide lugs define the watch, so pay attention to whether polishing has softened their edges or made them uneven. The ceramic insert also deserves a close look for chips, especially around its exposed outer edge.

What owners love

  • The no-date dial is clean and symmetrical, with no Cyclops interrupting the view. Owners who chose this version tend to appreciate that simplicity every time they look at it, not just when setting it.
  • The Glidelock clasp lets you adjust the bracelet without tools in small increments, which makes a real difference as your wrist changes size throughout the day. It’s one of the features long-term owners most often single out.
  • The bezel has crisp, positive clicks, and the ceramic insert holds up well against everyday scratches. The combination of that bezel action and the solid bracelet gives the watch a reassuring feel in daily use.

Common Criticisms

  • The broad lugs and crown guards make it wear noticeably squarer and chunkier than the 40mm diameter suggests. Some owners never warm to the proportions, especially after wearing an older, slimmer-lugged Submariner.
  • The clasp is fairly long and substantial underneath the wrist. Despite the useful adjustment, it can feel bulky on smaller wrists or when resting your arm on a desk.
  • The polished case sides and clasp surfaces pick up visible hairlines even though the ceramic bezel stays looking fresh. Owners often find the contrast more noticeable than they expected.
