The 114060 is the last 40mm no-date Submariner. Rolex introduced it at Baselworld 2012 and kept it in production until around 2020, when the 124060 arrived with caliber 3230 and a 41mm case. Ceramic bezel technology, the Maxi case, and the Glidelock bracelet all arrived in the no-date line with this reference, pulling the watch into the same modern construction that had reached the date models two years earlier. | The 114060 is the last 40mm no-date Submariner.

The same caliber powered the late 14060M, so the movement is carryover rather than new. Regulation is handled by a Parachrom blue hairspring — Rolex's paramagnetic alloy spring, more resistant to magnetic fields, temperature change, and shock than a traditional spring — together with Microstella regulating nuts on the balance. | ||
The 114060 was the last Submariner to run the 3130. Its successor, the 124060, moved to caliber 3230, bringing the 70-hour reserve and the Chronergy escapement. That closed out the 3130 era in the no-date line. | The 114060 was the last Submariner to run the 3130.

The same 40mm diameter does not translate to the same wrist feel. The Maxi Case is larger and heavier; the wider lugs spread the visual footprint; the crown guards read as more substantial. Some collectors prefer the heft and presence. Others miss the slimmer five-digit proportions. That preference split is one reason the 114060 has become collectible — it is the last Submariner to offer this 40mm Maxi case before Rolex moved the line to 41mm. | The same 40mm diameter does not translate to the same wrist feel.
