Rolex Submariner Date – Ref. 126610LN
(Black Dial)
The Submariner Date 126610LN is Rolex’s contemporary expression of its most famous diver’s watch. It retains the rugged elegance, underwater capability, and instantly recognisable profile of its ancestors, now refined with modern updates in movement, case size, and finishing.
First introduced in 2020 as part of the new generation of Submariner models, Reference 126610LN features a larger 41 mm case (up from the former 40 mm), upgraded calibre, and aesthetic refinements that maintain Rolex’s heritage while delivering improved wearability and performance.
Why choose this model?
Modern Submariner, timeless DNA.
It preserves the classic diver’s bezel, highly legible dial, and Cerachrom (black ceramic) insert, while its 41 mm size and broader shoulders/case lugs give the watch a more assertive, contemporary wrist presence.
Legibility and durability.
Black dial with Chromalight display (long-lasting luminescence), scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, Cyclops lens over the date, and 300m water resistance via the Triplock crown system.
Cultural icon & collector essential.
First released in 1953, the Submariner became a design template for all dive watches that followed. The 126610LN continues this legacy — a tool watch worn by explorers, divers, and film legends alike, from Jacques Cousteau to James Bond. The new 41 mm reference adds refinement to that lineage while maintaining the spirit that made the Submariner a symbol of strength and precision.
Small details, big significance.
Collectors will note the subtle coronet at 6 o’clock — a tiny Rolex crown between “Swiss” and “Made,” introduced exclusively on the new generation of Submariners. This detail quietly distinguishes the 126610-series as part of Rolex’s latest era of precision manufacturing.
Strong invest­ment potential.
Steel sports Rolex models remain some of the most sought-after. The Submariner Date 126610LN, being a modern staple, features all key elements collectors look for: updated movement, strong brand heritage, and enduring design. According to market data, Submariner references have continued to hold or appreciate value well, outperforming many alternatives.
