Rolex Submariner No-Date 41mm Black Dial Black Cerachrom Bezel Oyster Bracelet 124060 | 2023 Full Set — The Purist’s Choice

The Purest Submariner — Seventy Years of Tool-Watch DNA, Undiluted

The Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060 is the most historically faithful expression of the Submariner concept in the current Rolex catalog. Since 1953, the Submariner’s founding purpose has been singular: a purpose-built professional diving instrument, waterproof, bezel-timed, and legible in the darkness of the deep ocean. Reference 124060, introduced in August 2020 as the most significant Submariner update in over a decade, carries that founding purpose forward into its most technically capable generation — the 41mm case, Caliber 3230 movement with 70-hour power reserve, and Cerachrom ceramic bezel arriving for the first time in the no-date configuration. This 2023 full-set example is offered at $11,000 — one of the most compelling price points currently available for the most current generation of the world’s most recognized dive watch in its purest, no-date form.

The No-Date Argument — Why This Is the Submariner Collectors Prefer

The distinction between the no-date 124060 and its date sibling, the 126610LN, comes down to a single detail that divides collectors cleanly: the date window and Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock. Its design is perfect. It features a streamlined dial, notably lacking the date window found in many other models. This simplicity is often praised for its clean, uncluttered aesthetic, making it a favourite for purists who appreciate straightforward elegance. Without the date window, the four large luminous markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock are perfectly identical — same shape, same size, same luminous fill — and the dial is balanced from every angle. There is no Cyclops lens, no asymmetry in the case to accommodate the date complication. The no-date Submariner has been the choice of collectors who prioritize the purity and historical authenticity of the Submariner design ever since the date complication was introduced, and the 124060 is the most complete modern realization of that preference.

904L Oystersteel Case — 41mm, Triplock Crown, 300 Meters

The 124060 features a 41mm Oystersteel monobloc middle case crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 904L stainless steel — a high-corrosion-resistant alloy delivering a deeper, more reflective polish than the 316L steel used by most competing manufacturers, maintaining its surface integrity across decades of daily wear and saltwater exposure. At 12.5mm in thickness and 48mm lug to lug, the case presents with a confident, contemporary wrist presence appropriate to the world’s benchmark dive watch. The case features satin-brushed flat surfaces on the lugs and polished sides and chamfers, the dual-texture presentation that creates the Submariner’s characteristic interplay of light and shadow. A screw-down Triplock triple-waterproofness crown — three gaskets — seals the case to 300 meters / 1,000 feet of water resistance, and a flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits flush over the dial.

The Black Cerachrom Bezel — The First Ceramic Bezel on a No-Date Submariner

The arrival of the Cerachrom ceramic bezel on the no-date Submariner with the 124060 was a meaningful technical milestone: the previous no-date reference, the 14060M, had carried an aluminum bezel throughout its production run, and the 124060 was the first no-date Submariner to receive the scratch-resistant, UV-stable ceramic insert that the date model family had carried since 2010. The unidirectional rotating black Cerachrom bezel is graduated across 60 minutes with platinum-filled numerals and graduation marks — embedded into the ceramic surface via Physical Vapour Deposition, as permanent as the surrounding material. Cerachrom is virtually scratchproof, completely corrosion-resistant, and entirely UV-stable — this bezel will look identical in fifty years. The unidirectional rotation — counterclockwise rotation blocked — is the fundamental safety feature of a professional diving instrument.

The Perfectly Symmetrical Black Chromalight Maxi Dial

The deep black Maxi dial is the most carefully considered surface in the no-date Submariner lineup. Applied 18k white gold dot and baton hour markers in extra-large Maxi proportions are filled with Chromalight — Rolex’s proprietary luminescent material emitting a distinctive intense blue glow in darkness for up to eight hours, significantly brighter and more sustained than standard Super-LumiNova. The Mercedes-style hands carry matching Chromalight fills, and the single luminous pip on the ceramic bezel at 12 o’clock aligns precisely with the inverted triangle marker on the dial. The dial is signed “Submariner / 1000ft=300m / Superlative Chronometer / Officially Certified” — confirming the reference’s full professional specification and movement certification. And with no date window interrupting the symmetry, every marker reads as part of a perfectly balanced whole — the cleanest and most visually satisfying dial in the entire current Submariner family.

The Oyster Bracelet with Glidelock — Built for the Dive and the Desk

The three-piece flat-link Oyster bracelet in 904L Oystersteel features the Glidelock extension system — tool-free adjustment in 2mm increments over approximately 20mm of total range — and the Oysterlock folding safety clasp. The Glidelock makes the transition from wrist-only wearing to over-a-wetsuit effortless and immediate, maintaining the Submariner’s professional utility without any concession to the elegance of the bracelet presentation above the water.

Powered by Caliber 3230 — The Most Advanced No-Date Submariner Movement Ever

The Caliber 3230 is the no-date sibling of the Caliber 3235 — identical in escapement, hairspring, and power reserve architecture, built without the date mechanism. The Chronergy escapement delivers approximately 15% greater energy efficiency than a conventional Swiss lever escapement while providing outstanding resistance to magnetic fields. The blue Parachrom hairspring made from a proprietary zirconium-niobium alloy is virtually unaffected by temperature fluctuations, shocks, or magnetic interference, and Paraflex shock absorbers provide structural resilience. Running at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 31 jewels and a 70-hour power reserve, the Caliber 3230 carries Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification for accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing. It is regulated in five positions after casing for real-world accuracy that exceeds the movement’s already exacting laboratory specification.

The 124060 is the most accessible current-production Rolex sport watch with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel, and the reference that most directly and purely represents what the Submariner has been since 1953. Secondary market data confirms the 124060 trading between $10,500 and $13,500 for full-set examples, with 2023-production full-set examples in the middle of that range. At $11,000 for a 2023 full-set piece shipped worldwide, this listing delivers the world’s greatest dive watch in its most historically authentic form, at one of the most competitive price points currently available for this production year and condition — an investment in both daily wearability and long-term collector value that the Submariner’s seven-decade track record continues to support.
