Rolex 14060 Submariner SS Black Dial Circa. 1995

The Rolex 14060 Submariner Stainless Steel Black Dial represents a critical evolution in the lineage of Rolex's storied dive watches. Introduced in 1990, this reference retained the classic Submariner DNA while modernizing key elements for contemporary wearers. The 14060 succeeded the 5513, notably introducing the caliber 3000 automatic movement, which delivered improved reliability and a higher frequency for enhanced timekeeping stability. Revered among purists, it was the last Submariner to feature drilled lugs and an aluminum bezel insert, maintaining vintage aesthetics while ushering in a new era of robustness. The 14060 is celebrated for its clean, no-date dial, presenting optimal symmetry and clarity—attributes highly prized by collectors. With its 40mm stainless steel case and timeless black dial, the 14060 is a direct descendant of the original 1950s Submariners, retaining a sense of authenticity and connection to the watch world’s most important dive watch family. While not a limited edition, its production run closed in 2002, and its enduring popularity speaks to its balance of utility and understated vintage charm. For enthusiasts seeking a pivotal reference with significant historical relevance within the Submariner range, the 14060 is widely regarded as an icon. W serial (1995).
