The 126613LB features a 41mm Oyster case crafted from Rolex’s proprietary combination of 18-karat yellow gold and Oystersteel. This blend of materials not only offers a luxurious appearance but also ensures exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. The case is equipped with a screw-down Triplock winding crown, providing a water resistance rating of 300 meters (1,000 feet), making it an ideal companion for diving and water sports.

Powering the watch is Rolex’s renowned Caliber 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement that offers exceptional precision and reliability. The movement incorporates Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement, which enhances energy efficiency and extends the power reserve to approximately 70 hours. Additionally, the movement is equipped with Parachrom hairspring, providing increased resistance to shocks and temperature variations.

The Submariner Date 126613LB features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a blue Cerachrom insert, which is highly resistant to scratches and fading. The bezel’s 60-minute graduations allow divers to track their immersion time accurately. The watch also includes Rolex’s Glidelock extension system on the bracelet, enabling easy adjustment for a secure and comfortable fit over a wetsuit.
