[Rolex][Rolex][Rolex][Rolex][Rolex][Rolex] 5 recommended models of the "Submariner No Date"
So far, we have explained the appeal of the "Submariner No Date," but there are many models available. Many people may not know which one to choose, so this time we will introduce five recommended models. We will also explain the features of each model, so please choose the model that suits you.
① "Ref.5512"
The third generation Submariner, Ref. 5512, was introduced in 1959. It is water resistant to 200m and has a unidirectional rotating bezel (a ring-shaped part that can be attached around the crystal) that can be used to measure diving time.
This vintage model was produced until the early 1970s and has an attractive retro look. The movement was changed three times during production, and it was also the first Submariner to feature a crown guard, designed to protect the crown (the part that protrudes from the right side of the case at 3 o'clock) from shocks.
The simple design matches the vintage atmosphere, making it easy to match with any outfit, but it is strictly prohibited to wear it at the beach or in humid places. Vintage models lose their original functions over time, so please enjoy them to the fullest with care.
② "Ref.5513"
The "Ref. 5513" has a vintage feel and is available at a relatively affordable price. It is a long-selling model that has been in production for over 25 years, but it is also known as a model that has undergone numerous minor changes.
The wide variety of dial variations that have been created through minor changes is one of the attractions of this watch. Another point worth mentioning is that there are many rare points that have arisen due to the watch's original rare characteristics or changes over time.
Like the "Ref. 5512," this is a vintage model, so care should be taken when using it.
③ "Ref.14060"
The "Ref. 14060" was on sale from 1989 to 2000.
The Oyster case, which is a waterproof case for wristwatches and symbolizes the waterproofness of Rolex, is highly airtight. The most notable point is that it is the first in the series to be equipped with a sapphire crystal windshield. Just changing the windshield can completely change the atmosphere.
This model also has water resistance up to the current standard of 300m. The design is classic and simple, which is unique to non-date watches. This model is perfect for those who like a classic style but are a little worried about vintage watches.
④ "Ref.14060M"
The Ref.14060M is a minor change model of the Ref.14060 model released in 1989. Unlike the Ref.14060, the Ref.14060M has significantly improved stability in terms of strength and precision against vibration and shock. Another attractive feature is that the ease of maintenance and winding efficiency have been greatly improved compared to the Ref.14060.
A distinctive design feature is the crown watermark at the 6 o'clock position on the sapphire crystal. With a unidirectional rotating bezel, 300m water resistance, and a chronometer movement, this model combines the high functionality of a professional diver's watch, which requires time accuracy and visibility, with high practicality for everyday use.
This is a model I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for ease of use.
⑤ "Ref.114060"
The "Ref. 114060" was manufactured from 2012 to 2020. The key points are that the bezel is made of ceramic, which increases its strength (it is more than 10 times harder than stainless steel), and the design is simple yet heavy.
Ceramic bezels are also known to be scratch-resistant, will not rust, tarnish, or cause allergies, making them an extremely attractive material for watches.
In addition, this high-spec watch is equipped with the "Cal.3130" which uses a Parachrom hairspring that is highly resistant to magnetism and shocks. The appearance and operation are simple and easy to use, making this a "Submariner Non-Date" that can be used both on and off the job.
It has maintained a high asset value and is a recommended item that we can expect to have a great future.
