Overview
The Rolex Submariner reference 14060 represents the no-date variant of the iconic 40 mm Submariner line, produced throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s. Housed in a stainless steel case and fitted with a stark black dial, it embodies the utilitarian diving-watch philosophy that has defined the Submariner since its earliest generations. Powered by the in-house calibre 3000, the 14060 occupies a significant chapter in the Submariner's long evolution.
History
The reference 14060 entered production in 1990 as the successor to the earlier no-date Submariner references, carrying forward the clean, dateless aesthetic that a dedicated segment of the collecting community has long preferred. Throughout its production run it received incremental refinements, and collectors generally distinguish between earlier and later dial and bezel configurations. It remained in production until approximately 2001, when it was succeeded by the updated reference 14060M, which introduced the calibre 3135 and a number of finishing improvements. The 14060 is now regarded as a transitional yet highly coherent reference that bridges the classic Submariner era with the modern one.
Notable points
- Powered by the calibre 3000, a movement without a date complication, keeping the dial uncluttered and true to the original Submariner concept.
- The absence of a date window at 3 o'clock gives the black dial a symmetrical, purposeful appearance that many collectors consider the definitive Submariner look.
- Produced across roughly a decade, the reference passed through distinct dial and insert variations, making production-period identification a rewarding area of collector study.
- The stainless steel 40 mm case conforms to the long-established Submariner dimensions, maintaining compatibility with the broader lineage of Submariner bracelets and accessories.
- As the direct predecessor to the 14060M, the reference 14060 serves as an important reference point for understanding the technical and aesthetic trajectory of the no-date Submariner line.
