What Do You Need to Know About The Rolex Submariner 126610?

As a leading company in the crafting and construction of custom rubber watch bands, Rubber B continues to be passionate about using our blog to help educate the general public about important developments in the world of horology. For this particular blog post, we are going to focus on the Rolex Submariner 126610, the most recent product in Rolex’s long-running Submariner line of watches.

Since it was initially introduced to the general public in 1954, the Rolex Submariner has long been one of Rolex’s most immediately recognizable line of watches. It is often considered by many experts in the horology community to be the gold standard among diving watches, and with good reason – its combination of elegant design and outstanding Swiss craftsmanship means that divers have been trusting this watch for almost 70 years now.

We will take a few moments to examine the technical specifications of the watch in more detail, offer up observations on the overall look and aesthetic of the piece, and finally, share some opinions about what the best replacement strap for this particular timepiece is.

What Are The Technical Specifications of the Rolex Submariner 126610?

As a newer Rolex timepiece, you are likely going to expect that the Rolex Submariner 126610 be technically advanced, and thankfully, Rolex has met all of the reasonable expectations that can be expected from them upon putting out a new timepiece on the market.

At 41 mm, this timepiece has been crafted to what has more or less become the unofficial “industry standard” in terms of sizes for men’s wristwatches. It feels sturdy and well-constructed without being bulky, which has also become a hallmark of Rolex watches, especially in more recent years.

The case and bracelet are both made from Oystersteel™, which is Rolex’s proprietary alloy, and which is often used on their diving watches. It is known for being especially durable and capable of withstanding damage from scratches or excessive sweating, which makes complete sense, as this watch has certainly been designed for those with an active lifestyle.

The black dial and rotatable bezel are particularly important for this watch, as they have been specially designed to help keep divers safe while underwater. The bezel has 60-minute graduations on it, and the dial is black and highly legible, ensuring that, even while underwater, divers can keep track of the time and know when they need to surface for safety reasons.

The winding crown is screw-down and protected by the Triplock triple waterproofness system, which further helps to waterproof this watch. And while we are on that topic, it should be noted that this timepiece is waterproof for up to 1,000 feet, giving it one of the largest ranges of any timepiece currently available on the market today.

The movement is another notable aspect of this watch that is certainly worth examining more closely. The 3235 is one of Rolex’s newer movements and is perpetual, mechanical, and self-winding. The most important thing about the movement, however, is that it is manufactured by Rolex themselves, which is not always the case among companies that craft luxury timepieces. The power reserve for this is watch is 70 hours, which is on the higher end of the spectrum for luxury sports watches.

Finally, this watch retails for $9,150, which means that it certainly is on the affordable end of the scale in terms of Rolex watches. If you are considering buying your first Rolex for yourself or someone you love, this is a great place to start.

How Does the Rolex Submariner 126610 Fair in Terms of Its Look?

As you would expect, the Rolex Submariner 126610 is an elegant, svelte timepiece that is certainly very pleasant to look at. It is not ostentatious in the slightest, but it is not so rigid so that it could only be worn in a formal setting. However, the black dial and the black bezel, combined with the steel bracelet, do give it a bit more of a “serious” tone, so our personal opinion is that this watch is best worn when being active or during work.

In our opinion, the color scheme doesn’t really fit too well with a more casual “vibe,” but again, that is just our opinion, so make of that what you will.

What is the Best Replacement Strap For The Rolex Submariner 126610?

In our humble opinion, the best replacement strap for this watch is the Rubber B Ceramic 41 mm Strap, which is made from 100% vulcanized rubber and specially designed to resist the wear and tear that comes from everyday usage.
