Well, the rumor is true! It is a new Rolex Submariner collection, and while the overall aesthetic remains largely unchanged in 2021, this new generation marks a significant update to Rolex’s iconic diving watch collection.
A very important detail about the 2021 Submarine update is that Rolex has discontinued every submarine and submarine date list for the 2019 series and introduced an entirely new model for the entire series. It’s not just a new fake Rolex Submarine watch or a nice metal accessory; This is a new generation of Rolex submarines.
Since 1959, the Rolex Submariner has had a case diameter of 40mm. While the overall profile of the watch saw a wonderful update in 2008 with the arrival of Cerachrom bezel inserts and the introduction of the ‘Super Case’ that featured thicker lugs and crown guards, the real diameter of the Submariner remained the same 40mm as before
What’s more, 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 has been Rolex’s preferred movement for many years, and it can show the date on many different Rolex replica watches. While the Caliber 3135 is the rock-solid movement you’ll probably find from any manufacturer, there’s no denying that after more than 30 years in production, the Cal. 3135 is starting to look a little dated.
