Rolex Submariner No-Date 41mm Black Dial Black Cerachrom Bezel Oyster Bracelet 124060 | 2024 Full Set — The Purist’s Choice

The World’s Greatest Dive Watch — Purist’s Configuration, 2024 Production

The Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060 is the most historically faithful expression of the Submariner concept in current production — a 41mm professional dive watch built without date window, without Cyclops lens, without any asymmetry interrupting the perfectly symmetrical no-date dial. Since its debut in 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. The 124060, introduced in August 2020 as the most significant Submariner update in over a decade, carries that founding purpose forward in its most technically capable generation. This 2024 production example — one year fresher than the 2023 examples — is offered in very good condition at one of the most competitive price points currently available for this reference and production year.

The No-Date Dial — Perfect Symmetry, Perfect Focus

The perfectly symmetrical no-date dial is the 124060’s most compelling visual and collector argument. Without the date window at 3 o’clock, all four cardinal hour markers — at 12, 3, 6, and 9 — are perfectly identical in size, shape, and luminous fill. The dial layout is balanced from every angle. There is no Cyclops lens pulling the eye to the right, no asymmetry in the case to accommodate a date mechanism. The result is the cleanest, most balanced, most historically authentic Submariner dial layout available — the version that captures the original 1953 tool-watch spirit more faithfully than any other current configuration.

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

The 41mm Oystersteel case is crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 904L stainless steel with satin-brushed flat surfaces on the lugs and polished sides and chamfers. The screw-down Triplock triple-waterproofness crown delivers 300 meters of water resistance, and a flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits flush over the dial. At 12.5mm in depth, the case presents with the confident, purposeful wrist presence of the world’s benchmark dive watch in its most refined current form.

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

The black Cerachrom ceramic bezel is one of the 124060’s defining historical achievements: it was the first ceramic bezel ever fitted to a no-date Submariner. Previous no-date references — the 14060, 14060M — carried aluminum bezel inserts throughout their production. The Cerachrom insert is virtually scratchproof, completely corrosion-resistant, and entirely UV-stable. The 60-minute graduation marks are filled with platinum PVD, as permanent as the surrounding ceramic. The unidirectional rotation — counterclockwise blocked — is the fundamental safety architecture of a professional dive timing instrument.

The Black Chromalight Maxi Dial

Applied 18k white gold dot and baton Maxi-format hour markers are filled with Chromalight — Rolex’s proprietary long-lasting luminescent material emitting a distinctive intense blue glow in darkness, significantly more sustained and brighter than standard Super-LumiNova. The Mercedes-style hands carry matching Chromalight fills. The dial is signed “Submariner / 1000ft=300m / Superlative Chronometer / Officially Certified” — the two-liner configuration that collectors consistently prefer for its visual clarity and historical authenticity.

The Oyster Bracelet with Glidelock

The three-piece flat-link Oyster bracelet in 904L Oystersteel features the Glidelock extension system — tool-free 2mm-increment adjustments over approximately 20mm of total range — and the Oysterlock folding safety clasp. The Glidelock makes the transition from bare wrist to over-a-wetsuit immediate and effortless.

Powered by Caliber 3230 — Purpose-Built for the No-Date Submariner

The Caliber 3230 features the patented Chronergy escapement machined from nickel-phosphorus for approximately 15% greater energy efficiency and outstanding magnetic field resistance. The blue Parachrom hairspring made from a proprietary zirconium-niobium alloy is virtually unaffected by temperature fluctuations, shocks, or magnetic interference. Paraflex shock absorbers provide structural resilience. Running at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 31 jewels and a 70-hour power reserve, the movement carries Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification for -2/+2 seconds per day. The 70-hour power reserve means the watch runs from Friday evening through Monday morning without winding — the most practical power reserve of any current no-date Submariner generation.

Why This Reference Stands Out

The 124060 is the most accessible current-production Rolex sport watch with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel, and the reference that most purely and faithfully 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 2024 production very-good-condition pieces in the lower-middle of that range. At $11,400 for a 2024 full-set piece shipped from San Francisco — with open-to-trade flexibility and local meeting availability — this listing delivers the world’s greatest dive watch in its most historically authentic and most symmetrically perfect form at one of the most competitive price points currently available for this production year.
