① "Submariner" "Ref. 124060"

The Rolex Submariner Ref. 124060 was announced as a new model in September 2020.
The change from the previous model "Ref.114060" was that the case size was increased from 40mm to 41mm, which became a big topic of conversation. At the same time, the bracelet width was increased by 1mm, but the lug width was reduced by 1mm, improving robustness while providing a refined fit when worn. The movement was changed from "Cal.3130" to "Cal.3230", and the power reserve has evolved from 48 hours to 70 hours.
The well-known classic model "Submariner" is often the subject of debate as to whether one should go for the date or non-date model. Both have their merits, but the non-date "Ref. 124060" has a clean design for the entire dial because it does not have a calendar function, and the sapphire crystal windshield has no cyclops lens, making it flat, which may be why it is supported by the non-date group .

② 『Explorer』 「Ref.214270」

The Rolex Explorer Ref. 214270 was introduced at Baselworld in 2010.
The Explorer, a model produced from 2010 to 2021, was characterized by a small case size of 36mm until the appearance of the "Ref. 214270", but the "Ref. 214270" has a larger case diameter of 39mm, which caused a lot of surprise when it was first announced. From mid-2015, the buckle design was changed from matte to mirror finish, and from late 2016, the "3, 6, 9" indexes on the dial were changed from bare metal to white lines. The "Mirror Blackout" model, which is equipped with a mirror buckle and bare metal dial and only exists for a short period of time, is very popular.
Among Rolex watches, the Explorer is popular as the ultimate simple watch and is a versatile model that can be used in a wide range of situations, from business to casual, and even for ceremonial occasions. The Explorer, with its refined design that is free of waste, is a recommended model that has been loved to this day .

3. Oyster Perpetual "Ref. 126000"

The new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 126000 was announced in September 2020.
The "Ref. 126000", which was announced at the same time as the Oyster Perpetual 41mm "Ref. 124300", has become extremely popular due to the large increase in dial color variations from the conventional Oyster Perpetual. The five color dials of turquoise blue, candy pink, coral red, yellow, and green are still popular, and the second-hand market price is also soaring. As of 2024, the coral red and yellow have already been discontinued, and there are very few of them on the second-hand market, so many people are probably looking for them.
The Oyster Perpetual, a representative dress watch, is also chosen as an entry-level luxury watch and is popular among a wide range of age groups. It is a very popular model that is fun to wear and has a high resale value depending on the dial color. It is the perfect watch for those looking for a simple yet cute small watch .

④ "Cellini Moon Phase" "Ref.50535"

The Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535 was released as a new model in 2017.
The Cellini is a model that stands out among the many Rolex models in its lineup as a dress watch. It does not use the "Oyster case" that is the symbol of Rolex, but instead uses a beautifully shaped case made of luxurious materials such as 18K gold and platinum. The belt is not a metal bracelet, but an alligator strap, which creates a more luxurious beauty. The "moon face mechanism" at the 6 o'clock position is the most distinctive feature, and the design features a meteorite full moon on a blue enamel disk, making it an overwhelmingly beautiful model. There is no date display window, so it may not be called a non-date model strictly speaking, but it is a very popular model that has gained great support from non-date fans because there is no cyclops lens on the windshield and it has a "pointer date display" that does not spoil the clean design of the dial .

⑤ "Perpetual 1908" "Ref.52509"

The last watch we would like to introduce is the Rolex Perpetual 1908 Ref. 52509, a new model released in 2023.

The name "Perpetual 1908" comes from the year that Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf came up with the name of his own brand "ROLEX" and registered it as a trademark in Switzerland. The "Perpetual 1908" was newly added after the "Cellini", which was a dress watch, was discontinued. Like the "Cellini", it has a simple case that is not an oyster case, a small second hand at the 6 o'clock position on the dial, and Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9 on the dial index. It has a completely new design that is not found in previous models, and is classic and has a nostalgic vintage feel. The back cover is a skeleton back, so you can enjoy the "Cal. 7140". In addition, the back of the leather strap is designed in green, which is Rolex's corporate color, which is a stylish element, so it is a model that you will be very satisfied with if you own it. This is a watch worth checking out if you are looking for a watch that has a simple design yet exudes a sense of luxury .

What did you think?

The calendar function is a very convenient feature that allows you to instantly check the date, but it is also true that not having a calendar on the dial makes for a simple and sophisticated design. Both have their merits, and the fact that these types of topics can be discussed is one of the charms of luxury watches, isn't it?
