The dial is executed in the Submariner’s classic colour of black. When it comes to dive watches, a black dial improves underwater legibility. The dial’s luminescent Chromalight display further increases visibility in dark environments. Hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – and broad hour and minute hands enable instant and reliable reading to prevent any risk of confusion underwater. At 3 o’clock is perhaps the only non-diving-related feature of the dial: the date display with cyclops lens.

Replica Rolex Submariner Date, Rolex Submariner was first released in 1953. It was conceived as a true tool for divers and has a long history as a military-issued watch. Eight years later, in August of 2020, Rolex made simultaneously its biggest and most unnoticeable changes to the Sub by introducing the Reference 124060 – a 41mm watch with an improved case profile, slimmer lugs, slightly different bracelet construction, and a new in-house movement. So a watch that had come to be defined by its 40mm sizing was now no longer 40mm in diameter. The new Submariner is an evolution of a singular, simple design.
