Rolex Submariner "No-Date" 14060 2000 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Rolex Submariner No Date 14060, from the vintage 2000 era, epitomizes the timeless appeal of one of the most iconic dive watches ever made. Introduced in 1990 and produced until 2012, the 14060 represents a transitional period for the Submariner lineup. By the year 2000, this reference had cemented itself as a classic, retaining the clean and symmetrical aesthetic of the original Submariner launched in 1954. Without a date complication, the 14060 boasts an uncluttered dial that offers pure functionality and impeccable legibility—qualities that have made it a favorite among purists.

This model is housed in a 40mm stainless steel case, featuring Rolex’s signature Oyster construction that guarantees water resistance to 300 meters (1,000 feet). The unidirectional bezel, with its serrated edge and aluminum insert, maintains the practical and robust design of earlier Submariners. The case is paired with the equally iconic Oyster bracelet, providing a combination of durability and comfort. Notably, the 14060 from 2000 still features drilled lugs, a detail prized by vintage enthusiasts for its nod to traditional watchmaking and the ease it offers for strap changes.

The 14060 is powered by Rolex’s in-house caliber 3000, a COSC-certified movement known for its reliability and precision. By 2000, Rolex was making incremental improvements to its movements, solidifying its reputation for producing some of the most dependable calibers in the industry. While this movement predates the introduction of the modern Parachrom hairspring, its rugged construction and 28,800 beats-per-hour frequency ensure exceptional performance in any condition, making it a dependable companion for both diving and daily wear.

Collectors often view the 14060 as a bridge between vintage and modern Submariners. Its vintage-inspired design elements, such as the slimmer lugs and aluminum bezel insert, coexist with modern features like sapphire crystal, ensuring greater durability. This balance of tradition and innovation, combined with its minimalist aesthetic, makes the 14060 from 2000 a sought-after piece. Whether worn as a tool watch or an elegant accessory, it remains a testament to Rolex’s commitment to excellence and enduring style.
