Gold submarine drawing10/20/2023 The hour hand is now larger, and the minute hand so long to touch the minute track. The original “Super Case” has been thus replaced by a sleeker, more elegant silhouette. In contrast, the lug to lug has grown from 20 to 21 mil by shaving off half a millimeter, side by side, the lugs look as thinner as the bracelet is wider than ever before. We all found out the case width gap is below the one mil threshold, for example. What is not insignificant, instead, is where the designers applied such changes. From a size standpoint, the main differences between the 40mm “Super Case” Submariner and the new 41mm Submariner are negligible. Old case and bracelet design, and how the tens of millimeters, rather than millimeters, along with new color options, set the 2020 Submariner apart from its 10-year-lifecycle old reference models. Please prove me wrong, but the main topics of discussion among the old or new Sub supporters were primarily on new Vs. From an enthusiast’s point of view, let’s be honest and admit the newly introduced caliber is somewhat pointless and barely appealing to any potential buyer those who are today buying a Rolex sports watch are often regardless of what’s ticking side, proven robustness and long-term reliability, any Rolex watch is known for, excluded. Again, it all has to do with managing icons in their respective class of products. I think a Rolex Design team’s task when restyling the new Submariner is as challenging and risky as Michael Mauer‘s when drawing a line of the next 911 gen. It’s all about changing tiny details here and there that, once combined, always make the magic happen. Talking about a new Rolex watch is like stepping into a chemistry laboratory. Did the new Submariner change? Yes, it did. Back then, any Rolex related topic skyrocketed according to Google Trends thus, the 2020 new Submariner collection was in the headlines, globally, for almost a week, longer and better than any other watch brand had ever achieved. From a communication strategy standpoint, Rolex raised the expectations so high that once they pulled the trigger, the Internet was flooded with everything new-Submariner related. It’s quite a brilliant move, given the brand went under the spotlights immediately after the summer break. Rolex has postponed the new product launch to September the 1 st. Quite an exclusive chance to dissect what makes new and phased-out Subs stand apart, through a reference 126619LB, the pinnacle of the Rolex Submariner 2020/2021 collection’s offering.īaselworld is out. Not a bad option, after all, isn’t’ it? With that said, here is our first time we review a Rolex Sub gold and the latest generation Submariner. Meanwhile, we had a chance to go up close with the top-of-the-range new Rolex Submariner 126619LB in white gold. You’ll discover the green bezel Submariner sometime soon, I hope, and as soon as I’ll collect mine at a Rolex official AD. However, our agenda changed all of a sudden. Therefore, when discussing new Rolex watches belonging to mainstream collections, the sentence “it’s a new watch!” has a whole different meaning.Īs far as the 2020 new Submariner collection concerns, we were supposed to get our hands on the new Rolex Submariner with Green Bezel or Rolex Cermit. In the end, who’s so crazy to drastically redesign the most sought-after sports watch in over half a century? No one is, I assume. The Rolex Submariner is like a traditional recipe passed down from one generation to another if you’re ready to change any of the ingredients, you won’t affect the final taste. When it comes to refreshing an iconic collection, Rolex‘s approach is always about restyling rather than shaking things up unless the brand introduces new proofs of a concept like a Sky– Dweller or a Yacht– Master 2. Did the new Submariner change? Yes, it did.
