The Rolex Submariner 114060 is the no-date, 40 mm Submariner reference produced from 2012 to 2020, according to Rolexopedia’s reference guide. It was succeeded by the 41 mm 124060, which uses a different movement and has an approximately 70-hour power reserve according to Rolex. The 114060 may suit buyers who prefer its earlier case size, but any purchase is a pre-owned transaction that calls for careful evaluation of the individual watch and seller.
What is the Rolex Submariner 114060?
The 114060 is a no-date Submariner with a 40 mm case. Rolexopedia’s reference guide lists its production span as 2012–2020 and identifies its movement as calibre 3130. It is the final 40 mm ceramic-bezel no-date generation before the 41 mm 124060, according to that guide. These exact 114060 details come from a secondary reference source; the official Rolex material reviewed for this guide documents the successor and the Submariner family.
Without a date window, the dial has no date display or date magnifier. That suits readers who want a time-only watch and prefer the no-date layout. If a date display matters to you, compare date-equipped models separately.
114060 and 124060 compared
The 124060 replaced the 114060 in 2020. Rolex’s 2020 brochure and current product page document the successor’s principal specifications; the 114060 figures below are attributed to Rolexopedia’s reference guide.

| Feature | 114060 | 124060 |
|---|---|---|
| Generation | Produced 2012–2020, according to Rolexopedia | Successor introduced in 2020 |
| Case diameter | 40 mm, according to Rolexopedia | 41 mm, according to Rolex |

The documented differences include case diameter and movement. Which one wears better is personal: nominal diameter alone does not determine fit, so try the specific watch on your wrist if possible. The newer model’s specifications should not be assumed to apply to the 114060.
What the Submariner bezel is for
Rolex describes the Submariner’s unidirectional graduated bezel as a tool for monitoring underwater time. That family-level description explains the bezel’s purpose; it does not establish the condition or water resistance of any particular pre-owned 114060.

Buying a pre-owned 114060
Because the 114060 is discontinued, buyers are considering pre-owned examples. A reference number, listing description, photograph, or accompanying paperwork alone should not be treated as proof that a particular watch is authentic, original, or in good condition.
- Confirm the watch’s identity. Ask a qualified watch professional to examine the specific watch and confirm its reference and details.
- Review condition and prior work. Ask about repairs, replacement parts, and other work, and assess the watch itself rather than relying only on the seller’s description.
- Check service documentation. Ask who performed any service or inspection and what documentation accompanies it.
- Review what is included. Confirm which bracelet, links, and other items come with the watch, and whether they are reflected in the sale terms.
- Understand the transaction. Verify the seller’s identity and review payment, return, and dispute terms before committing.
Rolex states that only official Rolex retailers are allowed to sell and maintain Rolex watches, and says their expertise and equipment can help guarantee the authenticity of parts. That statement does not establish the status of a particular seller or authenticate an individual listing. See Rolex’s Submariner product page for its retailer statement.

Should you choose the 114060 or 124060?
The 114060 may be a better match if you specifically prefer the 40 mm case and want the earlier no-date generation. The 124060 is the documented successor, with a 41 mm case, calibre 3230, and approximately 70-hour power reserve listed by Rolex. Consider wrist fit, the actual watch’s condition, and the seller’s documentation rather than treating either reference as an automatic choice.
