Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN

The Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN is the current-generation 41mm dive watch, launched in 2020 to succeed the 116610LN. It houses the in-house Calibre 3235 — Chronergy escapement, ~70-hour power reserve, Superlative Chronometer certified — inside a 904L Oystersteel case rated to 300m. Cazador has no verified price observations yet. Its standout detail: a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel paired with blue Chromalight lume and a Glidelock extension for tool-free bracelet adjustment.

History

Rolex introduced the 126610LN in 2020 as the direct successor to the 116610LN, folding the Submariner Date into the brand's broader case-size and movement refresh. The reference carries forward the model's core identity — a 41mm Oystersteel case, unidirectional Cerachrom bezel, Cyclops-equipped sapphire crystal — while moving the caliber inside from the outgoing 3135 family to the 3235.

The Calibre 3235 is built around Rolex's Chronergy escapement, engineered for better energy efficiency and greater resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. Paired with a blued Parachrom hairspring, it delivers roughly 70 hours of power reserve, and every example carries Rolex's own Superlative Chronometer certification, which tests the fully cased movement rather than the bare movement alone.

The black Cerachrom insert resists fading from UV exposure and scratching from daily wear — properties that matter on a tool watch built for water. The Chromalight lume compound on the dial and hands emits a blue glow that Rolex states lasts longer in the dark than the more common green luminescent material used across the industry.

The bracelet retains the Oyster three-link architecture paired with the Oysterlock safety clasp and a Glidelock extension system, which allows the wearer to adjust the bracelet length by approximately 2cm without tools — useful for layering the watch over a wetsuit or adapting to wrist swelling through the day.

As of this writing, the 126610LN remains in Rolex's current catalog and in active production, with no discontinuation announced.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Rolex Submariner 126610LN cost?

What is the difference between the 126610LN and the 116610LN?

Our sourced data confirms the 126610LN replaced the 116610LN in 2020 as Rolex's current Submariner Date. Spec-by-spec differences beyond that succession are unverified in our database.

Yes. Per manufacturer catalog data, the 126610LN is a current-catalog reference and remains in active production, with no discontinuation announced as of this writing.

How deep can the Submariner 126610LN go?

It is rated to 300 meters (1000 feet) of water resistance — depth performance consistent with the Submariner Date's role as a dedicated dive tool watch.

It's a tool-free extension built into the Oysterlock clasp that lets the wearer lengthen the Oyster bracelet by approximately 2cm on the fly.

41mm in diameter, cased in Oystersteel — the standard case size across the current no-date and date Submariner lineup since the model's 2020 refresh.
