Design and Legacy (The "Supercase")

The 114060 introduced the beefier "supercase" to the no-date Submariner, featuring thicker crown guards and broader, squared-off lugs compared to older aluminum-bezel 5-digit references (like the 14060M).
While initial enthusiast reception was divided over the thicker lug profile, it is retroactively appreciated as an ultra-robust transitional model.
Succeeded in 2020 by the Ref. 124060, which bumped the case size to 41mm, slimmed the lugs, and upgraded to the Calibre 3230 (70-hour power reserve). The 114060 remains highly sought after by collectors who prefer classic 40mm proportions and a 20mm stance. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
