Hey guys! So today we have yet another watch for you. This time is the Rolex
Submariner Reference 114060. That's the latest reference of the no date sub.
But before we get into the watch, I'd like to ask you to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell so you get the notifications whenever we upload a new
video. Because we are going to upload a few videos. Now that that's out of the
way, let's have a look at this watch the Rolex Submariner 114060
no date sub. Just to give you a bit of a background information. In 2002
the reference 14060 was updated to the 14060M, where M stands for modified
modified movement and that watch received then new Rolex movement 3130
and that is actually the same movement that you find in this watch. So the 14060M
was in production until 2012 and at that year the Submariner received yet
another update and that's the latest update and it became the 114060. So
exactly this watch that I'm holding in my hand. One of the updates for example
was the ceramic bezel that you see on this model and the ceramic bezel was
introduced under no date sub of two years after Rolex brought it out in 2010 for
the reference 116610. So the updated features of the 114060 also includes
fat locks or thicker lugs compared to the 14060M as well as a new oyster bracelett.
So the Rolex Submariner 114060 has a 40 millimeter steel case. It's so
called oyster case. Oyster is the patented name of water-resistant Rolex
watch cases and it's made of oyster steel. Oyster steel is an alloy that's
developed by Rolex. It's in the 904L steel family
and it is used in high technology. Other than the 40 millimeter diameter the
thickness of the watch is 13 millimeters, not too thick bulky but as you would
have in a sports watch it's absolutely not uncomfortable when you wear the
watch. We having a unidirectional diving bezel with a 60 minute scale.
Unidirectional meaning that the bezel only moves counterclockwise and the
insert inside is ceramic or as Rolex calls it cerachrome, where the numbers
as well as the graduations are coated platinum. Another feature of a diving
watch and as such of the Rolex Submariner 114060 is a huge crown
obviously guarded by two crown guards. It's a screw down crown so you can screw
it down pull it up and that's how you set the time and then you can push it
back and screw it back on.
You can recognize the trip lock system, this waterproofness system, if you look
at the crown underneath the rolex coronet, you see three dots.
This basically shows us that the watch crown has the trip lock system.
The watch is water resistant to 300 meters or 1000 feet as you can read it
on the dial. The dial tself is black with huge white indexes round indexes at
the at every hour except for 3, 6 & 9 where you have long flat indexes every
index is luminova covered just like the hands. Lastly the watch has scratch
resistant sapphire crystal. Underneath the triangle you see the Rolex logo and
the name and Oyster Perpetual. Above the six you see the name Submariner and the
water resistance rating so one thousand feet or three hundred meters as well as
superlative chronometer officially certified which refers to the watch's
movement being chronometer certified. The dial is very highly legible due to the
black main color and the huge white numerals and hands. There is no date as
you would have with a classic submariners. They didn't have a date
feature so the 114060 Submariner also is a no date sub. Rolex also offers a
date sub which has a different movement but to a lot of people no date sub is
the actual rolex steel sports watch. Another feature that makes it very easy
to recognize at the Rolex is the Mercedes hour hand as you can see it on
the dial. Inside the Rolex Submariner 114060 you have the calibre 3130. This
calibre was first released in 2001. So it's been on the market or it's been
built into rolex watches since 2001 for 18 years now. It's basically the same
calibre as the 3135, but without the date. So the 3530 in this watch has no
date and the 3135 has the date feature. This is basically a self-winding
mechanical movement with the power reserve of 48 hours,
31 jewels and a vibration per hour of 28,800. What's interesting about the calibre
3130 is that it has the parachrom hairspring, which is a hair spring
that's developed by Rolex and it's much higher in resistance and actually it's
blue so it's very easy to recognize when the watch is open. Previously Rolex also
used nivarox hairsprings but they wanted to have their own production so
they came up with parachrom and then now parachrom is produced by Rolex
for Rolex exclusively. The watch also comes on a steel bracelet. The steel
bracelet is made of oyster steel which is the same alloy as you use in making
the case. Every Submariner comes in an oyster bracelet. Most Rolex watches
either come on Jubilee or an oyster bracelets. Oyster bracelet is obviously
very distinct from Jubilees. They are flat three-piece links whereas Jubilee
has smaller middle links. The clasp is a folding clasp with an oyster lock safety
system.
And Rolex also equipped this bracelet with a glide lock extension system which
allows you to size the watch to exactly your wrist. We also have another review
out about the Tag Heuer Monaco Calibre11. Please make sure you check that video out.
