At first glance, it may be challenging to pinpoint the changes in the new Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN amidst its classic Submariner elements. However, a subtle and nearly imperceptible modification has elevated the watch's elegance and aesthetic balance. In a 2020 update, Rolex expanded the iconic diver watch's case from its signature 40mm to 41mm. This enhancement has remarkably improved the case's profile in reference 126610LN, resulting in slimmer lugs and a timepiece that sits comfortably on the wrist, appearing as if it has always been a 41mm watch.
Balancing the contemporary elements are the iconic Submariner features, including the black ceramic bezel with a rotating function and 60-minute graduations. The dial retains its characteristic design with prominent hour markers and hands coated with Chromalight luminescence, alongside the familiar date window at the three o'clock position.
Constructed from durable Oystersteel and equipped with a screw-down crown, an Oyster bracelet featuring an Oysterlock clasp and the Glidelock extension system, a solid case back, and an impressive 300 meters of water resistance, this watch ensures unwavering reliability.
Nestled at the heart of the Submariner Date 126610LN is the relatively new Rolex Calibre 3235, offering a substantial power reserve of approximately 70 hours. This feature-rich tool watch stands as a testament to Rolex's ongoing commitment to continuous innovation and improvement.
