A Submariner in full yellow gold has been part of the collection since the 1960s, and the 126618LN is the current expression of that lineage. At 41mm — the size introduced in 2020 across the Submariner range — it wears slightly larger than the previous-generation 116618LN while retaining the proportions that keep it balanced on the wrist. The combination of a black Cerachrom bezel against warm yellow gold creates a watch that reads as both a capable tool and an unambiguous luxury piece.

The 126618LN Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The black dial features gold-surrounded hour markers filled with luminescent material, paired with Mercedes hour and lollipop seconds hands in matching gold. A date window at three o’clock is magnified through the Cyclops lens. The black Cerachrom bezel carries gold-plated numerals on its 60-minute diving scale, maintaining high legibility against the dark ceramic surface.
The full yellow gold Oyster bracelet gives the 126618LN its distinctive wrist presence — heavier and warmer in tone than any steel or Rolesor alternative. The Glidelock clasp extension provides up to 20mm of micro-adjustment. Discover all gold and two-tone dive references in the Submariner collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two movement tiers let you choose the right balance of performance and value:
- Swiss automatic — high-beat sweep, extended power reserve, and architecture following the caliber 3235 design. The refined option for collectors who prioritise the closest mechanical match to the genuine.
- Japanese automatic — Miyota-based movement with reliable timekeeping and globally accessible servicing. A solid everyday choice for confident daily wear.
Both movements feature quickset date and hacking seconds.
