Why We Love it
–Let's be honest here — this watch needs no introduction.
Introduced in late 2020, the current generation Submariner Date model Reference 126610LN picks up where the the slightly controversial, Reference 116610LN 'Maxi' case Submainrer line left off. The equally controversial, standout, and somewhat iconic (yep, we said it) ceramic bezel remains, while Rolex implements just a few refinements for the new generation.
The most noticeable of which, is the slimmed down lugs and wider lug spacing. Less noticeably, is the souped-up movement — now packing increased accuracy and a ≈ 70hr power reserve.
Additional features includes: a sapphire crystal, a luminous glossy black dial, and stainless Oyster bracelet with Glidelock clasp — now at 21mm in diameter at the lugs.
Behold! The latest and greatest of debatable the most iconic watch of all time.
Brand Story

Brand Story
+Rolex's quest to produce a waterproof wristwatch has its roots in the First World War, when a need arose for soldiers to have a watch that could withstand the wet, dusty conditions on the battlefield. Rolex's Oyster case of 1926 represented the culmination of a decade of development. It gained notoriety in 1927, when Mercedes Gleitze became the first British woman to swim across the English Channel. She took with her an early Rolex Oyster, in what may have been the very first example of sports marketing by a luxury brand. A series of advertisements followed this feat, featuring smiling flappers dunking their Rolex Oysters in fish tanks.
The Submariner hit the market at a time when oceanographer and explorer Jacques Cousteau exposed the world to the wonders of undersea exploration. With the advent of SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) in the late 1950s, skin-diving as a sport became accessible to amateurs. Since a mechanical timepiece was an essential piece of equipment for divers in a pre-digital world, the race was on amongst Swiss manufacturer to produce a professional grade timepiece. Rolex was fortunate in that René Jeanneret, one of the company's directors, was a skin-diving enthusiast, giving Rolex a unique insight into the development of their diving watch.
The resulting watch was an overnight success, and has been in continuous production ever since. The Oyster Perpetual Submariner, in all of its forms, is an icon amongst icons, a pinnacle of horological design, and a statement piece aspired to and worn by people the world over.
