{"product_id":"rolex-submariner-date-40-black-dlc-coating","title":"Rolex Submariner Date 40 Black DLC Coating","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rolex Submariner Date 40 is the reference dive watch, and this is a genuine Submariner Date that has been given an aftermarket black DLC coating. It is important to be clear on that point: Rolex does not produce a black-coated Submariner, so the finish here has been applied by a third party after the watch left Rolex, over an authentic steel Submariner Date. The result is an all-black, matte look that is very different from the standard steel, with the coating adding scratch resistance to the case and bracelet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the coating it is the watch it has always been: a 40mm Oyster case, a unidirectional rotating bezel with a graduated insert for timing dives, the Chromalight dial and hands for low-light legibility, the date at 3 o'clock, and a screw-down crown. It runs Rolex's self-winding, chronometer-certified movement on the Oyster bracelet, and the underlying case retains the Submariner's serious water resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the coating is aftermarket, it sits outside Rolex's warranty and service terms, this is a customised piece rather than a factory one, which is part of what makes an all-black Submariner stand apart from the standard model.
