Rolex Submariner Ref. 14060, The Last of the Classic No-Date Submariners
In the hierarchy of Rolex divers, the Reference 14060 occupies a unique and quietly revered position. While its date-displaying sibling, the 16610, dominated the commercial market, the No-Date Submariner remained the conscious choice for those seeking the original design language of the late 1950s. The absence of the Cyclops lens on the sapphire crystal results in a perfectly symmetrical dial, a visual clarity that purists prefer for its historical fidelity to the very first Submariners. It is a watch that does not need to announce itself; its presence speaks for itself.
The drilled lugs of the 14060 are a detail particularly cherished by collectors: they not only facilitate easy strap changes but also recall the tool watch soul of a timepiece born for functionality and ruggedness, echoing the earliest Submariner references of the 1950s. The aluminum bezel insert, which over time develops a unique and personalized patina, is another feature that connects this reference to the original spirit of the model. The 14060 was the last Submariner to feature both drilled lugs and an aluminum bezel, making it a genuine transitional piece and the final expression of the classic Submariner formula before the modern era. For the collector who values purity of design and historical continuity, the 14060 No-Date is the definitive Submariner.
