The Rolex Submariner 124060 is the current no-date Submariner: a 41 mm Oystersteel dive watch with a black dial, a black Cerachrom bezel, 300 metres of water resistance and the in-house caliber 3230. Rolex introduced it in 2020 to replace the 40 mm 114060, enlarging the case slightly, refining the lugs and moving to a movement with a much longer power reserve. This guide covers the specs, the differences from the 114060 and from the date model, how the dial reads, and who the watch suits.

What is the Rolex Submariner 124060?
The 124060 is the Submariner without a date window, and it is the purist version of Rolex's best-known dive watch. It has a 41 mm Oystersteel case, a unidirectional rotating bezel with a black Cerachrom ceramic insert graduated to 60 minutes, a black dial with luminescent hour markers, and a three-link Oyster bracelet with a Glidelock extension clasp. Inside is caliber 3230, a time-only automatic movement. The lack of a date means no Cyclops lens on the crystal, which is why the dial looks so balanced. You can see a sourced catalogue entry for the Rolex Submariner 124060 in steel with a black dial.
What are the Rolex Submariner 124060 specs?
The headline specs are a 41 mm steel case, caliber 3230, about 70 hours of power reserve and a 300 metre rating. The table lists the facts a buyer usually wants in one place.

Rolex's own pages remain the authority on specifications, and they are worth checking against any individual watch you are offered.
How is the 124060 different from the 114060?
The 124060 is larger, runs a newer movement and has a redrawn case, while the 114060 is the 40 mm generation it replaced. The 114060 was introduced in 2012 and was the first no-date Submariner with a ceramic bezel. It used caliber 3130 with a power reserve of roughly two days. The 124060 moves to caliber 3230 and about 70 hours. The table compares the two.
| Feature | Submariner 114060 | Submariner 124060 |
|---|---|---|
| Case diameter | 40 mm | 41 mm |
| Movement | Caliber 3130 | Caliber 3230 |
| Power reserve | About 48 hours | About 70 hours |
| Bezel | Black Cerachrom | Black Cerachrom |
| Water resistance | 300 m | 300 m |
| Years | 2012 to 2020 | 2020 to present |
Retailers also report that the bracelet links changed with the redesign, so a 114060 bracelet should not be assumed to fit a 124060. Treat any mixed-generation parts as something to check with the seller.
How does the 124060 compare with the date Submariner?
The only visible difference is the date, plus the movement behind it. The Submariner Date 126610LN uses caliber 3235 and has a date window with a Cyclops lens, and the 124060 uses caliber 3230 without one. Case size, bezel, bracelet and water resistance are shared. Our Submariner date vs no-date comparison goes through that choice in detail. To compare it with the rest of the current Submariner range, see the current-model Rolex Submariner references.
Is the 124060 dial easy to read?
Yes, and legibility is the main reason buyers choose it. With no date window, the dial has nothing between the hour markers, so the hands, the inverted triangle at 12 and the rectangular batons at 3, 6 and 9 stand out cleanly against the black. The luminescent material glows blue in the dark, and the bezel scale lets you time dives or any short interval. Because the dial is symmetrical, the watch also looks right when you glance at it from an angle. If you prefer a black face, browse the black-dial Rolex Submariner models. The 124060 only comes with a black dial; if you want colour, the blue-dial Rolex Submariner references are date models in other metals.
Is the 124060 comfortable on the wrist?
It wears well for a 41 mm watch because the case thickness stayed close to the older model and the lugs were refined. The 2020 redesign gave the case a slightly broader mid-case and trimmer lug profile, which keeps the watch sitting flat on a range of wrist sizes. The Glidelock clasp lets you adjust the bracelet in small steps without tools, which helps when the wrist swells in summer or when wearing a wetsuit. Try it on before buying if you can, since a ceramic bezel makes the watch look larger than the number suggests.
Who is the Rolex Submariner 124060 for?
It suits someone who wants a classic Rolex sports watch and does not use a date. It is a good fit if you rotate between several watches and do not want to reset a calendar every time, if you value the symmetrical dial, or if you want a dive watch that can also handle office and evenings. It is a poorer fit if you check the date daily, in which case the date model is simpler. Our guide comparing the Rolex Explorer and the Submariner helps if you are still deciding between a tool watch and a dive watch. For the wider Rolex range, see our Rolex collection.
What should you check before buying a 124060?
- Reference and case. Confirm 124060 is engraved between the lugs and that the case is 41 mm.
- Serial and card. The warranty card serial should match the engraving on the dial edge; ask for a photograph of both.
- Bezel and crystal. The ceramic should be free of chips, and the bezel should click firmly in one direction only.
- Bracelet and clasp. Check the clasp closes cleanly and the bracelet has not stretched.
- Photographs of this watch. Insist on images of the exact watch, not stock images, before money moves.
