Well, the rumors were true! There is a Rolex Submariner<\/a> collection update for 2020, and while the overall aesthetic remains largely unchanged, this generation marks a significant update to Rolex\u2019s iconic line of dive watches.<\/p>\n

The key detail about the 2020 update to the Submariner collection is that Rolex discontinued every single Submariner and Submariner Date watch from the 2019 line and rolled out a whole series of models. This update isn\u2019t just a Submariner watch or a metal option added to the collection; this is a whole generation of the Rolex Submariner.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a><\/p>\n

Since 1959, the Rolex Submariner has had a case diameter of 40mm. While the overall profile of the watch saw a significant update in 2008 with the arrival of Cerachrom bezel inserts and the introduction of the \u2018Super Case\u2019 that featured thicker lugs and crown guards, the actual diameter of the Submariner remained the same 40mm as before<\/p>\n

Additionally, while the exterior of the Rolex Submariner saw a significant update with the introduction of the 6-digit series, the movements powering the watches remained the same as the ones featured in the previous generation. First introduced in 1988, the Caliber 3135 was Rolex\u2019s go-to movement for many years and it can be found in a number of different date-displaying Rolex watches. While the Caliber 3135 is about as rock-solid of a movement as you are likely to find from any manufacturer, it is undeniable that the Cal. 3135 was starting to seem somewhat dated after more than three decades of production.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/p>\n

Rolex Submariner Watches with Improved 41mm Cases<\/h2>\n

The biggest update to the Submariner collection is the increase in case size from 40mm to 41mm. While purists will likely object to the case diameter, the change actually makes sense in the context of Rolex\u2019s past releases and the criticism that they have drawn.<\/p>\n

The 5-digit series of Submariner watches with aluminum bezel inserts now look rather small compared to the rest of the Rolex\u2019s catalog, and the previous 6-digit series drew criticism for the thicker lugs of its \u2018Super Case\u2019 throwing off the celebrated proportions of the watch. The 41mm case has slightly thinner and more refined lugs than the previous version, allowing Rolex to produce a larger watch while simultaneously returning to proportions that are more in-line with what the public has come to expect from the Submariner line.<\/p>\n

Internally, the Rolex Submariner watches also benefit from a significant improvement. Regardless of the specific model, all of the 2020 references are powered by Rolex\u2019s Caliber 32xx movements (Cal. 3235 for the Submariner Date and Cal. 3230 for the no-date model). Built around Rolex\u2019s proprietary Chronergy escapement, the series of movements offer users an improved power reserve of approximately 70 hours.<\/p>\n

In the past, Rolex would first update the precious metal versions of the watch and then update the stainless steel models from the collection. For example, Rolex first introduced ceramic bezels on the solid gold Submariner in 2008, but it was not until 2010 that the stainless steel models received the bezel and updated case design.<\/p>\n

However, the 2020 update is for all versions of the Submariner, and every single model from the stainless steel no-date version to the solid gold references has been completely redesigned both inside and out. Consequently, there are a total of 8 Rolex Submariner references for 2020.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Submariner 124060:<\/strong> Oystersteel, Black Cerachrom Bezel, Black Dial (No-Date)<\/p>\n

\u2013 Submariner Date 126610LN:<\/strong> Oystersteel, Black Cerachrom Bezel, Black Dial<\/p>\n

\u2013 Submariner Date 126610LV:<\/strong> Oystersteel, Green Cerachrom Bezel, Black Dial<\/p>\n

\u2013 Submariner Date 126613LN:<\/strong> Yellow Rolesor; Black Ceramic Bezel, Black Dial<\/p>\n

\u2013 Submariner Date 126613LB:<\/strong> Yellow Rolesor; Blue Ceramic Bezel, Blue Dial<\/p>\n

\u2013 Submariner Date 126618LN:<\/strong> Yellow Gold, Black Cerachrom Bezel, Black Dial<\/p>\n

\u2013 Submariner Date 126618LB:<\/strong> Yellow Gold, Blue Cerachrom Bezel, Blue Dial<\/p>\n

\u2013 Submariner Date 126619LB:<\/strong> White Gold, Blue Cerachrom Bezel, Black Dial<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/p>\n

Rolex Submariner 2020 Price and Availability<\/h2>\n

While Rolex increased its retail prices across the board in January of 2020, the generation of Submariner watches is accompanied by a further increase in price. With the launch of the generation of 41mm Rolex Submariner watches, the least expensive model (the stainless steel no-date Submariner ref. 124060) has an official retail price of $8,100, while the most expensive model (the solid 18k white gold Submariner Date ref. 126619LB) costs $39,650.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of current retail pricing for the 2020 Rolex Submariner collection:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ref. 124060<\/strong> = $8,100<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ref. 126610LN<\/strong> = $9,150<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ref. 126610LV<\/strong> = $9,550<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ref. 126613LN<\/strong> = $14,300<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ref. 126613LB<\/strong> = $14,300<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ref. 126618LN<\/strong> = $36,950<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ref. 126618LB<\/strong> = $36,950<\/p>\n

\u2013 Ref. 126619LB<\/strong> = $39,650<\/p>\n

As you will notice (just like before), the white gold model costs more than the yellow gold version, despite both being crafted from 18k gold. Additionally, the green-bezel version of the stainless steel Submariner is accompanied by a retail price that is slightly more than its all-black counterpart. While the black bezel version has an official retail price of $9,150, the model with a green bezel costs $9,550 when purchased brand.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, despite only being separated by a few hundred dollars in price at the retail level, the actual price difference between the green Submariner Rolex Hulk<\/a> and its all-black counterpart is significantly higher (typically a minimum of several thousand dollars) on the secondary market. Although these watches have just been released, we would not be surprised if the green Submariner ref. 126610LV ends up selling for significantly more than the all-black model once these watches reach the open market.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/p>\n

Rolex Hulk Discontinued, Ceramic Kermit Introduced<\/h2>\n

The previous generation of Rolex Submariner watches offered two different versions of the stainless steel Submariner Date. There was a version fitted with a black dial and a black bezel (ref. 116610LN) and a version fitted with a bright green sunburst dial and a matching green ceramic bezel (ref. 116610LV aka \u201cHulk\u201d). While an all-black option still remains in the catalog, the all-green Submariner Hulk has been discontinued and replaced by a model that features the color green.<\/p>\n

While the ref. 116610LV Submariner Hulk features both a green dial and a green bezel insert, the green Submariner (ref. 126610LV) features a black dial and a green ceramic bezel. This update recalls the color profile of the 50th Anniversary Submariner \u201cKermit\u201d ref. 16610LV that was first released in 2003 and features a green aluminum bezel insert.<\/p>\n

While the green Rolex Submariner 126610LV embraces the same black dial and green bezel design as the “Kermit” from the 5-digit generation of Submariner watches, there will be little to no chance of confusing these two green Rolex divers. In addition to offering a larger 41mm case (compared to the 40mm case of the Kermit), the overall lines of the watch are significantly more bold and angular when compared to the older 5-digit series of the Submariner.<\/p>\n

While the lugs have been thinned out a bit compared to the previous generation, they are still noticeably thicker than the ones found on the 5-digit series. This makes the two watches immediately identifiable from one another, despite their similar designs and color profiles.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/p>\n

Rolex Smurf Discontinued, White Gold Model Introduced<\/h2>\n

In the same way that the all-green Rolex Submariner \u201cHulk\u201d was discontinued in favor of a stainless steel model with a green bezel insert, the previous 18k white gold Submariner ref. 116619LB \u201cSmurf\u201d has been discontinued and replaced by a white gold model (ref. 126619LB) that follows the same 41mm case design as the rest of the 2020 Submariner watches.<\/p>\n

Additionally, just like how the stainless steel \u201cHulk\u201d was fitted with a green dial to match its green Cerachrom bezel, the now-discontinued Rolex \u201cSmurf\u201d was fitted with a blue dial to match its blue Cerachrom bezel. Furthermore, in the same way that Rolex now fits a black dial to the green bezel version of the stainless steel Submariner, the 18k white gold reference 126619LB features a black dial paired with its blue ceramic bezel insert.<\/p>\n

While stainless steel Rolex Submariner watches always feature Oyster bracelets with entirely brushed links, the two-tone and solid gold models feature high-polished surfaces on the center links of their bracelets. This practice continues with the 41mm Rolex Submariner watches for 2020, and the center links of the 18k white gold Submariner 126619LB are finished with a glossy finish, which contrasts with the brushed surfaces of the side links.<\/p>\n

Lastly, there are also Yellow Rolesor (two-tone steel and yellow gold) and solid 18k yellow gold Rolex Submariner watches. However, these models represent significantly less of an update compared to their now-discontinued predecessors. Just like before, both models are offered with either the option of black or blue dials and bezels, with identical retail pricing for both colors. The biggest change to note here is that while the text on the blue dials from the previous generation is gold, the text is white on the blue dials from the 41mm generation.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts on the 2020 Submariner Watches<\/h2>\n

Despite the movements and updated color profiles, the most discussed (and controversial) aspect of the\u00a0 2020 Rolex Submariner watches is their 41mm case size. Many collectors feel that 40mm is the perfect size for a sports watch; however, there is no denying the fact that a Rolex Submariner from the 1990s simply looks a bit small when compared to the rest of the brand\u2019s moden watches.<\/p>\n

Regardless of what anyone says about the 41mm case diameters, these Rolex Submariner watches will undoubtedly be some of Rolex\u2019s best-selling models. Just like with the previous generation of the Submariner – along with virtually every single other stainless steel Rolex sports watch – these 41mm Submariner models will likely have multi-year waiting lists at retailers around the world.<\/p>\n

Chances are that unless you have a very good relationship with your local authorized retailer, you will likely need to turn to the secondary market to get your hands on these 2020 Rolex Submariner watches – and if that\u2019s the case, you can almost guarantee that they will be trading hands for significantly above their original brand retail prices.<\/p>\n
