3. Bezel:

   • The rotating bezel is made of 18k yellow gold and features a Cerachrom ceramic insert in black, which is scratch-resistant and durable.

   • The bracelet includes the Oysterlock clasp, which ensures the watch remains securely fastened on your wrist, and the Glidelock extension system, allowing you to adjust the bracelet by up to 20mm without tools. This provides a comfortable fit, whether you're wearing the watch over a wetsuit or on bare skin.

6. Crown Guards:

   • Like all Submariner models, the 126618 features crown guards that protect the winding crown from damage and impacts, making it a reliable tool for divers and adventurers.
