Rolex Submariner ‘No Date – Two-Line Dial’ – Reference 14060M (2001)

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Submariner reference 14060M embodies the purest form of the brand’s legendary dive watch. Introduced in the late 1990s as the evolution of the 14060, the “M” (for Modified) signified the upgrade to the Rolex Calibre 3130, bringing improved precision, shock resistance, and reliability.

This 2001 example captures the essence of the classic tool-watch era — a 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case, black dial without date window, and unidirectional timing bezel, offering a perfectly symmetrical aesthetic prized by collectors. The sapphire crystal and 300-meter depth rating give it a modern robustness while maintaining the timeless charm of the Submariner line.

Beloved for its clean “two-line” dial and traditional proportions, the 14060M stands today as the last truly minimalist Submariner, bridging vintage character with modern Rolex engineering.
