SUMMARY

The ref. 126618LB is finished in 18K yellow gold and brings a luxurious feel to this rugged and robust tool watch. As a current generation Submariner, the case benefits from some subtle revisions, including a slightly larger 41mm size and a slimming of the lugs. The watch is paired with a solid gold bracelet that incorporates a Glidelock system in the clasp - offering up to 20mm of incremental tool-free adjustment to the wearer. The dial has a striking electric blue finish which is complemented by a “Cerachrom” bezel insert made from scratch-resistant ceramic. The use of precious metal extends to the hour markers and hands with gilt-style script pairing nicely with the gold’s warm tones. Housed inside the 300m waterproof case is the calibre 3235. This automatic movement is chronometer-certified and tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day. The power reserve is rated at 70 hours.
