Every change they make in their watches have been especially gradual, that even the smallest of changes make headlines.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">That\u2019s why the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/watches\/rolex\/submariner\/\">Rolex Submariner<\/a> models have disrupted the entire industry. Aside from the fact that releases were not expected from Rolex this year due to the pandemic, the new Submariner models marked the end of an era.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Historically speaking, the Rolex Submariner has been sized at 40mm or less since its inception, and for the first time in its history, its Oyster case has been enlarged to 41mm.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">However, if we only looked at the diameter size, we\u2019ll be missing the finer points of the Rolex Submariner\u2019s update.

Eight new Rolex Submariner references have been unveiled by Rolex, all measuring 41mm, presented with the Oyster bracelet and equipped with the extendable Glidelock system.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It\u2019s available in stainless steel with references 124060LN (Non-Date), 126610LN (Date), and 126610LV with a green Cerachrom bezel.
