Submariner Date

The Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN represents the modern evolution of one of the most recognisable watches in the world. Introduced as the successor to the 40mm 116610LN, the reference 126610LN features a refined 41mm Oystersteel case with improved proportions while retaining the unmistakable design language of the Submariner. The black dial is fitted with Rolex's highly legible Chromalight hour markers and hands, complemented by the signature date display at 3 o'clock beneath the Cyclops magnification lens. Surrounding the dial is a unidirectional rotating bezel featuring a scratch-resistant black Cerachrom ceramic insert with a 60-minute diving scale. The bezel's numerals and graduations are coated in platinum for enhanced durability and definition. The Oyster bracelet is fitted with Rolex's Oysterlock safety clasp and Glidelock extension system, allowing precise adjustment without the use of tools. Inside is Rolex's calibre 3235 automatic movement, offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve along with Superlative Chronometer accuracy and Rolex's Chronergy escapement. Water resistant to 300 metres, the 126610LN combines genuine professional dive-watch capability with the versatility that has made the black Submariner Date one of Rolex's most enduring and desirable models. As a 2026 example, this watch represents the latest generation of the classic black Submariner Date.
