Davis Riley got his first PGA Tour win this weekend at the Zurich Classic. Riley, and his partner Nick Hardy, won the team event by two strokes. During the celebration and trophy presentation, Nick went with the bare wrist, while Riley looked to be wearing a new Rolex Submariner in black ceramic on his.

The Rolex Submariner is quite possibly the most recognized and popular watch in the world. When someone says the word “watch,” I feel like the Submariner is what most people picture in their minds. In 1953 Rolex introduced the Submariner to the expanding recreational dive market. With advancements in technology, scuba gear had really taken off and many were enjoying the new hobby at deeper depths. So Rolex set out to create a dive watch and the Submariner was the first to 100-meter water-resistance rating. Since then the Submariner has been one of the biggest sports watches in the world. The most recent update to the Submariner happened in 2020 with a new case but it looks like Davis might be wearing the previous version that was in production from 2010-2020.

The previous generation Submariner features a 40mm case made from solid 904L stainless steel that Rolex calls Oystersteel. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant in normal forms, but 904L takes that up a level to ensure that it can stand up to constant use in salt water. The crown on the right side screws down with Triplock seals and is protected by slightly smaller crown guards. These crown guards look to be a little on the larger side and were slimmed down slightly on the newest 126610 reference. The case back is also solid Oystersteel and threads into the case to protect the movement from the outside. An Osytersteel bezel is unidirectional and will “click” 120 times on a full rotation. A black Cerachrom insert contains a 60 minute divine scale and will not fade with exposure to UV light and saltwater like the older aluminum bezels. A black dial is fitted with large hour markers, made from white gold, and filled with Chromalight for a long-lasting blue glow in low light. The Submariner can be had with or without a date and Riley’s Sub does have the date window at 3 0’clock. The date is covered by a magnifying lens on the sapphire crystal and switches over instantly at midnight.

Rolex’s Calibre 3135 is a classic movement that is reliable and very accurate. The 3135 is a self-winding automatic movement offering a 48 hour power reserve. KIF shock absorbers minimize the effect of quick movements and a Parachrom Blue hairspring won’t be affected by temperature or exposure magnetic fields. Like all Rolex movements, the 3135 is a Swiss Certified (COSC) movement to ensure accuracy. The Oyster bracelet is famous in its own right as it has been around for decades. The bracelet is made from 3 flat links of solid Oystersteel with a brushed finish. Again, Riley’s Submariner looks to have the older, thicker lugs and narrower bracelet. Holding the bracelet together is a folding Oysterlock clasp that contains Rolex’s Glidelock system for extending the bracelet without using tools. The Submariner is highly sought after and people have been on a waiting list for years to get one on their wrist. If you are lucky enough to wait it out for the new reference, then you can expect to pay $10,250 for a Submariner Date. The Submariner holds its value very well and even getting the previous generation on the secondary market will set you back around $13,500.
