Taking a modern Rolex Submariner ref. 114060LN as their canvas, watch customization studio Project X Designs have imbued a robust and modern watch with the notable aesthetics and details of its vintage predecessors to create a truly unique watch. Offered as a limited edition of just 60 pieces – as denoted on its engraved caseback, this “Heritage Submariner” combines various touches from across the Submariner’s heritage, such as a custom bezel with a red triangle and a crown guard delete, like on early Submariner models. Additionally, the watch’s lugs have been given a prominent polished bevel, as was offered on pre-modern Submariners, and it has been fitted with an original Rolex 8mm Brevet big crown and tube – giving the watch an authentically vintage look and feel. Additionally, the watch’s dial and hands swapped their bright white luminous with a vintage-feeling aged luminous look whereby it now features a creamy yellow patina, topping off the watch’s vintage look and feel.

Watch is in overall near mint condition. The steel case has some light marks from wear and from strap changes. The bezel and insert are near mint, and the case back is very clean with clear engravings and a sticker partially intact. Watch was worn on a leather strap, and the bracelet is in new condition with original plastic tape covering the clasp. ItA vintage 8mm Brevet crown is fitted and remains in near mint condition. The dial and hands are pristine. Comes with Project X warranty card, letter, and the original Rolex warranty card.

Fusing a modern Rolex with the famed aesthetic that adorns their beautifully patinated vintage models, Projext X Designs have created a wonderful fusion of watchmaking heritage and contemporary horological design.
