Model Reference
Launched in 1990, the Rolex Submariner 14060 remained in production until 2010, making it one of the most enduring models of Bar Rolex. However, during its production life of 20 years, Rolex made improvements to its movement and technology while preserving the simple and clean no date dial design.
Today, the 14060 is thought to be the model that connects classic Submariner design with durable modern day Rolex sports watches.
For enthusiasts, the most notable feature of the 14060 is its missing date display. Because the absence of the Cyclops lens on the crystal gives a balanced look to the black face, the watch is much sleeker and more symmetrical than other models. This resulted in the creation of a devoted customer base made up of individuals who prefer simplicity over other complexities.
The 14060 made some significant upgrades to the watch’s functionality while still preserving the familiar design of earlier models of Submariners. Specifically, it has used sapphire glass instead of acrylic, added a Triplock screw down crown for water resistance, and retained the Oyster case that allows it to maintain the well known waterproof capacity of around 300m.
The traditional looking waist of 40mm, aluminum bezel insert, and unidirectional rotating bezel allow the watch to preserve the classic proportions that many people associate with classic Submariner watches. The early models were powered by the Rolex Calibre 3000 but later models received a much improved Calibre 3130, both of which are known for their reliability and simplicity.
The 14060 holds a special place in the history of the Submariner as it appeals to collectors from two separate generations. Collectors with an interest in vintage Rolex watches recognize the traditional characteristics of the model through its traditional shape and simple dial while others looking for a reliable watch for daily activities see it as an offer that is durable and made with modern technologies.
Unlike modern Submariner versions that feature wide lugs and much larger casings, the 14060 is able to maintain its slim profile, a trait admired by numerous enthusiasts of Rolex sports watches of the late 20th century. This characteristic of the watch is exactly what makes it so sought after among collectors.

The Rolex 14060 was made for twenty years. During that time some small changes were made to the inside of the watch, the words on the face and what it can do.
