Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we'll be comparing the old and new Green Submariners.
The new 2020 green Submariner
"Ref. 126610LV" has just arrived at our store.
I took some photos and compared them with the old green Submariner
"Ref. 116610LV" !!
yes!
The one on the left was officially announced on September 1, 2020.
This is the new green Submariner "Ref. 126610LV"!!
The major changes from the previous model "Ref.116610LV" are:
○ Case size increased from 40mm to 41mm
○ Change from green dial to black dial
Equipped with new movement "Cal.3235"
I think that's the point.
First, let us give you a quick introduction to the features of the new caliber!
[Caliber 3235]
- Achieves a power reserve of approximately 70 hours
〇Calendar dates can be adjusted at any time
〇High magnetic resistance achieved
Improved impact resistance
It is a significant improvement over the conventional Cal.3135.
The calendar date can be adjusted at any time and the watch is highly antimagnetic.
This is a very welcome change!
*Between SWISS and MADE at 6 o'clock due to the new caliber.
It also has the crown mark on it.
From here on, we will introduce some of the minor changes!!
Lug width (left is old model, right is new model)
The case size of the new model has been changed to 41mm.
The lug width is narrower than the previous model.
Perhaps because of this, I didn't get the impression that the case was particularly large.
The lug width is narrower and sharper, eliminating the bulky impression of the old model.
This change is huge! (Top is new model, bottom is old model)
○Brace width (left: new model, right: old model)
The new model has a redesigned lug,
The lug width has been widened to 21mm and the balance of the bracelet has been adjusted.
The width of the bracelet is also about 1mm wider than the previous model.
*The new model has one less link on the 12 o'clock side.
* Both weighed about 159g and were the same weight.
Buckle width (left: new type, right: old type)
The new model also has a wider buckle.
The buckles looked the same length.
○Case thickness (left: new model, right: old model)
They are almost the same thickness.
It seems that the current model is slightly thinner,
I couldn't tell at first glance.
○ Needle thickness and length (top is new model, bottom is old model)
The current model has thicker hands and a longer minute hand.
On the new model, the minute hand reaches the minute scale.
The second hand also appears to be slightly longer.
From here, I took some photos of the points I was interested in and compared them!
○Bezel Color
I had heard that there were some slight differences, so this was the point I was most concerned about.
Both are the same green color.
The typeface on the bezel was also the same.
The diameter of the bezel seems to be slightly larger,
At first glance, I didn't notice much of a difference.
○Dial logo (top is new model, bottom is old model)
The "ROLEX" logo looks like it has the same font,
The “OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE” notation is long horizontally.
So, these are the points you are curious about.
This is a comparison photo with the older Kermit "Ref. 16610LV".
It's the same black dial with a green bezel,
Looking at it this way, it seems that the current model and the five-digit model are different.
From the left: "Ref.16610LV" "Ref.116610LV" "Ref.126610LV"
It will be.
Each model has its merits,
Which green Submariner do you prefer?
Personally, I like the beautiful sunray green dial "Ref.116610LV"
It still looked attractive.
It looks even better when it's discontinued (laughs).
