Rolex has reworked its Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date and changed its reference number to 116610. While the case of the watch remains 40mm in diameter the profile is noticeably squarer and has thicker lugs. Also changed is the graduated unidirectional bezel, which now lacks the anodized black aluminum insert, replaced by the Cerachrom bezel, manufactured from a special ceramic material that Rolex has developed in-house.

Rolex's original Explorer timepiece has now been joined by a larger 39mm version. Though only a 3mm difference its a huge step for the watch after only being available at 36mm for decades. Perhaps following the trend of larger and larger case sizes for luxury watches, this may be a smart move for the brand and could bring back some potential customers who are looking for a more visually impressive timepiece.

The 39mm Rolex Explorer has a case and bracelet crafted from 904L stainless steel and still features the classic smooth polished bezel. The black dial is protected by a flat sapphire crystal with slightly raised edge.
