Watch news doesn't get much bigger than this. There isn't some world-first complication; a record auction price hasn't been shattered by a celebrity-owned grail; a beloved independent watchmaker hasn't been acquired by one of the big groups. The news is way bigger than that: Rolex has just released a brand new Rolex Submariner.
The watch you see here is the ref. 124060, the newest iteration of the stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner without a date display. The entire Sub line-up has been updated, including a few models in precious metals and variations with the date as well, but this watch is the foundation of it all. It's a new size (41mm), it has a new bracelet (which is a bit wider), and it's powered by a new caliber (the 3230). Otherwise, it's very much a Submariner through and through.
