The Rolex Submariner 116613-LB-97203 8DI (Blue Water Ghost) case continues the classic elements of the Rolex Submariner series of watches, but most importantly, it uses an eye-catching design Blue dial, gold steel (a combination of 904L stainless steel and 18ct gold) three-row link bracelet that combines luxury and texture. And using the 3135 movement that Rolex is proud of, it not only makes the watch look exquisite, but also has absolutely stable performance. It is a well-deserved "once and for all".
1. Submariner without calendar watch
The iconic Oyster case, Mercedes-Benz needle, 40 mm diameter, 12.5 mm thickness, and 300 meters waterproof. The case is made of Rolex’s unique 904L stainless steel, with a black dial, black Cerachrom ceramic word ring and platinum-coated numerals, which is both fashionable and dignified.
I have to mention Rolex’s Cerachrom ceramic bezel. The biggest advantage of this bezel is that it is wear-resistant, and it is very bright and classy. The Cerachrom ceramic word ring came out in 2005. In order to make this ceramic word ring present the most perfect shape, Rolex has taken great pains. First, the ceramic must be heated to 1500 degrees to harden and purify it. Then, the hardness seems to be comparable to that of diamond. The required number outlines are engraved on the counter-weighted ceramics, and it takes 40 man-hours to make each such word circle.
1. Three-buckle winding crown
The crown adopts a three-buckle winding crown. The three-buckle winding crown can be said to be a triple lock developed by Rolex specifically for the Submariner. Waterproof system. This crown was first launched in 1970. After many technological innovations, the three-buckle locking device is composed of 10 different sets of parts. After the configuration is completed, it only needs to be tightened to make the Oyster case completely sealed, with strong protection comparable to that of a submarine. hatch.
2. Classic Oyster strap
The bracelet adopts the classic Oyster strap, three rows of links, made of 904L stainless steel. 904L stainless steel has high corrosion resistance and is widely used Used in high-tech, aerospace and chemical industries, it is extremely strong and durable.
3. The side is relatively thin
Viewed from the side without the crown, the Submariner model is thinner than the Deepsea series, not heavy, and is comfortable and casual to wear. The brushed metal design shows a strong metallic texture and also plays a role in covering up scratches caused by wearing it.
4. Glidelock buckle
904L stainless steel Rolex patented Glidelock buckle. The advantage of this buckle is that even if a diver is wearing a diving suit, it can be easily removed without using any tools. Adjust the strap. Strong teeth under the buckle allow the strap to be extended up to 20 mm in sections of 2 mm.
5. The lugs are flush with the first section of the Oyster strap
The lugs of Rolex watches are basically relatively short, which is very suitable for wearing. The lugs and Oyster strap The strap fits perfectly into one, with the lugs basically flush with the first section of the Oyster strap.
6. Pure black dial, Mercedes-Benz hands and time scales
The surface uses a pure black dial, and the Mercedes-Benz hands and time scales still continue the classic feel of the Submariner. The Chromalight display uses blue luminous material. Under the same brightness environment, the blue light can continue to emit light for up to 8 hours, which is twice as long as that of ordinary fluorescent materials.
7. 3130 self-winding movement
The triangular fluted bottom cover is tightened by Rolex watchmakers with special tools to completely seal the case. It is equipped with the 3130 self-winding movement developed by Rolex. This movement is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring to help resist the effects of impacts and temperature changes. Its construction is the same as all Oyster movements, providing unparalleled reliability.
