Watch Description
The Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date in Oystersteel with a Cerachrom bezel insert in black ceramic and a black dial with large luminescent hour markers.
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 bezel’s knurled edge is carefully designed to offer excellent grip under water, even with gloves.
The dial’s luminescent Chromalight display is an innovation that improved visibility in dark environments, an essential feature for divers.
Hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – and broad hour and minute hands enable instant and reliable reading to prevent any risk of confusion underwater.

# Rolex Submariner Date 41 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Rolex Submariner Date 41 (ref. 126610LN) is the archetypal modern sports diver, blending a robust 41mm Oystersteel case with a unidirectional Cerachrom ceramic bezel, black dial featuring bold Chromalight indices and Mercedes hands, a magnified date at 3 o'clock, and the in-house automatic Caliber 3235 movement delivering 70 hours of power reserve, targeting adventurers, professionals, and collectors who demand proven reliability and understated elegance in a do-it-all tool watch.
## Overall Watch Rating: 8.5/10.0
**Dials & Design Metric (9.9/10.0)** - The instantly recognizable bezel click, proportional indices, and flawless lume application make it the benchmark all divers aspire to.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.8/10.0)** - Revolutionizing dive watches since 1953 with milestones like the ceramic bezel and Parachrom hairspring, its legacy is unmatched.
**Material Metric (9.7/10.0)** - 904L Oystersteel paired with scratch-resistant sapphire and durable Cerachrom outclasses typical 316L steel competitors.
**Versatility Metric (9.6/10.0)** - Effortlessly shifts from deep-sea dives to formal dinners, outperforming niche tool watches in everyday wearability.
**Movement Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Caliber 3235's 70-hour reserve and Superlative Chronometer accuracy surpass most in-house rivals under $15,000.
**Brand Metric (9.2/10.0)** - Rolex's century of dominance and resale strength place it firmly among elite luxury houses like Omega or Patek.
**Functions Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Excellent timekeeping, 300m WR, and dive bezel deliver core utility akin to a Seiko Prospex but with premium execution.
**Rarity Metric (7.5/10.0)** - High production tempers exclusivity, though waitlists mirror limited editions from smaller brands.
**Complications Metric (3.9/10.0)** - A simple date falls short of the multifaceted calendars in higher-end divers like Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 9.8
## WM Collector Grade: A+
## Performance Insights: Excels in design, history, materials, versatility, and movement for peerless execution, while TPS reveals outstanding value punching above its secondary market price of around $14,000.
## TPS Interpretation: Exceptional Value: The watch vastly overperforms expected metrics at its price, offering luxury-grade reliability and desirability for long-term ownership.
