The new Rolex Submariner 2020 model
The new Rolex Submariner 2020 releases.
Now let’s see what’s new. The case size is now 41mm vs the old 40mm. Rolex seems to be moving everything up in size following the trend of larger watches. This is something they did not do in the far past but it is becoming more common. Some will like this and some will not. They may have done this to help slim the case silhouette as the lugs now are more tapered near the ends vs the older blocky look. This part of the new Submariner is most welcoming. The older 40mm case however is for some men very comfortable and visually balanced for most wrist sizes. 41mm may be too bulky for small wrists. Others with larger wrists will welcome the bigger diameter or some that simply like a more pronounced watch to say look at me (normally reserved for the Breitling crowd). The case thickness has also been trimmed down slightly more inline with models in the past.
The movement has finally been updated from the 3135 to the 3235 with now a 70hr power reserve.
All the new Submariners with the 41mm case come in the same metals and color combos as the previous 40mm except for the two below.
