Rolex Submariner Date Oyster, 41 mm, yellow gold M126618LN-0002

Black dial

The dialÕs luminescent Chromalight display is an innovation that improved visibility in dark environments, an essential feature for divers. Hour markers in simple shapes Ð triangles, circles, rectangles Ð and broad hour and minute hands enable instant and reliable reading to prevent any risk of confusion underwater.

Unidirectional Rotatable Bezel

The Submariner's rotatable bezel is a key functionality of the watch. Its 60-minute graduations allow a diver to accurately and safely monitor diving time and decompression stops. Manufactured by Rolex from a hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic, the Cerachrom bezel insert is virtually scratchproof. A luminescent capsule on the zero marker ensures legibility, no matter how dark the environment. The bezelÕs knurled edge is carefully designed to offer excellent grip under water, even with gloves.
