Movement
Until recently Rolex was falling behind to brands like Omega with their new Master Chronometer Co-Axial movements but with the introduction of the 3235 Rolex seems to be back up top. The Rolex Submariner 126610LV in-house calibre 3235 has a power reserve of 70 hours, -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy (COSC), bi-directional winding rotor, paramagnetic blue parachrom hairspring, and has a predicted service interval of ~10 years.
Where Rolex stepped up its game was with the anti-magnetic strength of the movement. We are constantly surrounded by appliances that can interfere with a movement’s accuracy and now the Rolex Submariner 126610LV doesn’t need to worry about it.
Oyster Bracelet
The Rolex Submariner 126610LV is equipped with the famous Oyster bracelet and oyster clasp. Being made up of stainless steel, perfectly defined dimensions, and sturdy clasp, you would be hard pressed to find a better bracelet out there other than the Jubilee.
