Rolex has officially authorized something most collectors never expected: a full-scale Rolex Submariner Date desk clock. At a time when hunting down a Submariner or Daytona has become a sport of its own, the brand’s newest release offers a different way to experience one of the most iconic designs in watchmaking—this time, sitting right on your desk.

Priced at $10,270, the Rolex Submariner Date Desk Clock channels the unmistakable DNA of the original wristwatch. It features a Cerachrom-style bezel insert, stainless steel construction, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and even a magnified Cyclops lens over the date window. At 80mm in diameter, it becomes an oversized tribute piece—equal parts luxury object and conversation starter.

Rolex’s expansion into home goods aligns with a broader trend among high-end watchmakers. Brands like Bell & Ross and Shinola have embraced the desk-clock niche, but Rolex’s execution stands apart. As noted by Hodinkee, the Submariner Desk Clock doesn’t rely on generic quartz housings or flimsy components—it’s a purpose-built, premium-grade timepiece designed to “honor the Submariner” in form and finish.

For collectors, the appeal is clear: this is a rare, officially sanctioned Rolex object that captures the aesthetic prestige of the Submariner in a new context. For enthusiasts who already own the watch—or aspire to—this is the ultimate desk flex. A collectible, a design statement, and a slice of horological history, the Rolex Submariner Date Desk Clock proves that Rolex’s influence extends far beyond the wrist.
