Description
For the first time in the legendary brand’s history, the Oyster case of the Submariner has been sized up from 40mm to 41mm. It may not seem like a significant change to amateur watch fans, but for true collectors, you know this is a big deal. Especially when talking about one of the most iconic, most highly celebrated, most recognizable watches the world over.
The new Submariner is svelte, taking the case back to the gracefulness of past generations, yet with a larger case size. It’s like the best of both worlds. You get the modern size we all want (face it, we like bigger these days, but not too big), and you get the elegance of the classic Submariner case design.
Rolex did this by slimming down and tapering the lugs. They also slenderized the crown guards. However diminutive it may be, it actually makes a big difference. While the biggest change in design is the Oyster case, the most remarkable change to the new Submariner Date is its new engine, Calibre 3235.
The new self-winding movement offers a number of special benefits, with the most prominent being its power reserve. It has a power reserve of 70 hours, which is far more than the 48 power reserve of the calibre 3135.
On offer today is an example in Excellent condition from 2022, with full box and papers.
