Rolex Submariner Ref. 124060 (No Date): The Modern Classic Secondary Market Guide

The Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060 is the current-generation 41mm steel diver without a date, trading in a 2026 secondary-market range of roughly $11,500 to $14,500 against an approximate retail of about $10,050. With its clean, perfectly symmetrical black dial, no Cyclops lens, and the efficient caliber 3230 movement, it is widely regarded as the purest expression of the Submariner. If you want this reference, Crown Watch Group can source a Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060 to your preferred condition and budget.

This guide covers the specifications, how the No-Date compares with the Date Submariner, current 2026 pricing, and how to source and authenticate one.

What Is the Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060?

The Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060 is the current-generation Submariner introduced in 2020, featuring a 41mm Oystersteel case, a black Cerachrom bezel, a black dial and — as the name suggests — no date function. Removing the date gives the dial complete symmetry and eliminates the Cyclops magnification lens over the crystal, producing the cleanest, most tool-focused look in the Submariner family. It replaced the previous-generation 114060 and shares the modern case and bracelet updates of the 2020 refresh.

For many enthusiasts, the No-Date is the definitive Submariner: a purpose-built dive watch stripped to its essentials. It carries all the robustness and heritage of the line without the date complication, appealing to buyers who value symmetry and simplicity.

Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060 Specifications

Below are the verified specifications for the reference. Only confirmed details are listed.

The Caliber 3230 Movement

The 124060 runs the caliber 3230, Rolex's modern no-date movement. Architecturally it mirrors the caliber 3235 used in the Date Submariner but omits the date module, and it delivers a class-leading power reserve of approximately 70 hours — a significant improvement over the roughly 48 hours of the previous-generation movement. The caliber 3230 also incorporates the Chronergy escapement for improved efficiency and magnetic resistance. In practical terms, the watch keeps running through a weekend off the wrist and requires only routine care, which is a genuine benefit for everyday owners.

No-Date vs Date Submariner

The most common question buyers face is whether to choose the No-Date 124060 or the Date Submariner 126610LN. The difference is straightforward but meaningful. The No-Date offers a fully symmetrical dial with no Cyclops lens over the crystal, giving the purest, most balanced look. The Date version adds a date window at 3 o'clock with the magnifying Cyclops, which some buyers find practical and others consider a disruption to the dial's symmetry.

Both share the same 41mm case, ceramic bezel and modern movement architecture, so the choice comes down to whether you want the date function and the Cyclops. The Date Submariner typically carries a modestly higher price. Our Rolex Submariner price guide covers the wider range, and our Sea-Dweller versus Submariner comparison is useful if you are also considering the larger, more specialised diver.

Design and Everyday Wearability

The appeal of the No-Date lies in its restraint. The symmetrical black dial, applied Chromalight markers and clean bezel make it exceptionally legible and versatile, dressing up or down with ease. The 41mm case wears comfortably on most wrists, and the Oyster bracelet's Glidelock clasp allows tool-free micro-adjustment — handy for changing fit throughout the day or over a wetsuit. With 300 metres of water resistance and a robust construction, it is a watch designed to be worn hard and often rather than kept aside.

Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060 Price in 2026

The 124060 currently trades in a 2026 secondary-market range of approximately $11,500 to $14,500, against an approximate Rolex retail of about $10,050. Because retail availability is limited, the reference trades above retail, with unworn examples carrying warranty cards commanding the highest prices and earlier pre-owned pieces sitting closer to the lower end.

These are secondary-market observations rather than guaranteed transaction values. Because asking prices vary by seller and change over time, buyers should verify current listings before committing. The 124060's premium over retail reflects strong, steady demand for a modern steel Submariner rather than the scarcity-driven surges seen on some other references. Our guide to the grey market versus pre-owned Rolex explains how this pricing works more broadly.

Value Retention

The steel Submariner has one of the strongest track records of value retention in the entire watch market, and the No-Date 124060 benefits from that reputation. As always, value retention is not the same as guaranteed appreciation; prices depend on condition, completeness and market conditions. The reference's fundamentals are excellent — enduring demand, iconic design and everyday practicality — which support value without promising future returns. For buyers weighing the watch as a long-term hold, our discussion of whether a Rolex is a good investment is worth reading.

How to Source a Submariner No-Date 124060

Steel Submariners are among the hardest Rolex references to buy at an authorized dealer, so most buyers source them on the pre-owned market. That makes authentication essential. With the right partner, the process is straightforward: specify the condition and completeness you want, have the watch authenticated before payment, and take delivery fully insured. Crown Watch Group sources the 124060 through a verified global network and can locate specific full-set examples rather than limiting you to whatever is available locally.

You can tell us the exact Submariner you want, explore our Rolex Submariner resources, or browse the Rolex watches we currently have available. Although Crown Watch Group is based in Miami, we assist buyers across the United States and internationally, with authentication before payment and fully insured delivery in every case.

The 2020 Update and What Changed

The 124060 arrived as part of Rolex's 2020 Submariner refresh, which brought the most significant changes to the line in years. The case grew from 40mm to 41mm, but cleverly: the lugs were slimmed so the watch wears much like its predecessor despite the larger case number. The bracelet was updated with broader, more refined links, and the movement was upgraded to the new-generation caliber 3230. For the no-date model specifically, the result is a watch that looks almost identical to the outgoing 114060 at a glance but is meaningfully improved in the details.

These updates matter to buyers because they define the difference between the current and previous generations. The extra power reserve, the refined case and bracelet, and the modern movement architecture all make the current reference the more capable everyday watch, even if the visual changes are subtle. For most buyers seeking the definitive modern Submariner, the current generation is the natural choice.

Servicing and Long-Term Ownership

Few watches are as easy to live with as a steel Submariner. The caliber 3230 is a robust, widely serviced movement, and Rolex recommends servicing roughly every ten years under normal use, with intervals varying by wear. The 300-metre water resistance and screw-down crown make the watch genuinely suited to swimming and diving, not just desk duty, and the Cerachrom bezel resists scratches and fading.

When buying pre-owned, ask about service history and confirm the watch retains its original parts, since both support value and reliability. Because the Submariner is so widely traded, there is a healthy supply of examples across condition tiers, which means a patient buyer can usually find one that matches their exact preferences. A transparent sourcing partner will help you compare examples and surface the details that separate a good buy from a compromised one.

Alternatives Worth Considering

If the no-date configuration is not quite right for you, several close alternatives are worth weighing. The Date Submariner 126610LN adds a date and Cyclops for buyers who want that function. The green-bezel 126610LV offers a splash of colour on the same platform. For those wanting a larger, more specialised diver, the Sea-Dweller steps up in size and depth rating. Each can be sourced through the same process, and comparing them against the 124060 is often the fastest way to confirm which Submariner genuinely suits you.

What Buyers Should Verify

Before buying, confirm the reference and serial are consistent with genuine 124060 production, that the movement is the correct caliber 3230 with original parts, and that the black dial, hands and Cerachrom bezel are factory-correct and unaltered. Confirm the crystal is the correct no-Cyclops sapphire, check the case for over-polishing, and verify the documentation matches the watch. Our overview of the Rolex authentication process explains how each element is inspected before payment, and our verified transactions show that standard in practice.

Who Should Consider the No-Date?

The Rolex Submariner No-Date 124060 suits a buyer who wants the purest, most symmetrical version of the Submariner and does not need a date function. It is a strong choice for enthusiasts who value clean design, for first-time Rolex buyers who want an iconic everyday watch, and for divers who prefer an uncluttered dial. Buyers who want a date and Cyclops, or who are drawn to a specific colour or complication, may prefer the Date Submariner or another reference.
