The distinct charm of Rolex's "new and old Submariners"

　　Introduction:RolexThe new and old Submariners have been out for some time now, yet many still do not understand the differences between these two versions. Today, I will guide you through them.

　　RolexSubmariner Date series 116610LN black dial watch

　　The 116610LN watch continues the classic elements of the Rolex Submariner series, but most importantly, it features a classic black and white dial, a robust and durable stainless steel bracelet, and uses the calibre 3135 movement that Rolex is proud of. This not only gives the watch an exquisite appearance but also ensures absolutely solid performance, making it suitable for the general public. Rolex's traditional Oyster case is perfectly showcased on it; the ceramic bezel and triple-sealed case protect it completely from external elements, ensuring a stable operating environment for the movement. The 'Black Submariner' is not as fashionable as the 'Green Submariner'; it offers only classic and understated style. Such a Rolex is definitely a beloved choice for Rolex enthusiasts. Moreover, compared to the Green Submariner, the Black Submariner is not only highly versatile but also less difficult to acquire and slightly lower in price, making it indeed an excellent daily watch.

　　RolexSubmariner series 114060 black dial watch

　　This timepiece is the latest Submariner series watch. Compared to the Black Submariner Date, it simply lacks a date window, with no other differences in appearance. The difference in functions leads to a different movement, but the absence of a date window does not affect its timekeeping precision. Its price is also slightly cheaper than the Submariner Date, though the difference is not significant. After all, Rolex's starting point in watchmaking is practicality, with no intention of selling gold or diamonds here. Fully sealed and waterproof to a depth of 300 metres, it is ready to handle any challenge. In this hot season, wear it to enjoy the coolness of the deep sea.

　　First, looking at the overall appearance, both the new and old Submariners use the same 904L stainless steel material and ceramic bezels, and both emit a blue glow in the dark. The difference is that the new Submariner has no date window, so it has an extra hour marker, making it slightly brighter at night.

　　Comparing their functions, both feature an Oyster case and offer identical water resistance. Disregarding night-time legibility, the older Submariner with a date window probably comes out on top.

　　As the new Submariner lacks a date window, it uses the 3130 movement. Although the 3130 movement was introduced slightly later than the 3135, Rolex's distinctive watchmaking technology means there is no difference in their accuracy, though the 3130 is much newer than the 3135.
