This replica Submariner carbon strips the classic diver down to a blacked-out, lightweight package built around a forged carbon case and a nylon strap. Where the standard Submariner wears its brushed and polished steel surfaces as a badge of refinement, this version replaces every visible metal surface with carbon composite, creating a watch that reads as purely tactical. The VS3135 automatic movement handles all timekeeping duties inside a case that weighs substantially less than its steel equivalent.

Technical Details

• Case material: forged carbon fiber
• Dial: black
• Bezel: carbon fiber unidirectional
• Crystal: sapphire
• Strap: black nylon with clasp
• Movement: VS3135 automatic
• Functions: date, rotating diver bezel

Forged carbon achieves its characteristic marbled look through randomly oriented fiber strands compressed under high pressure. No two cases produce the same pattern, giving each watch a one-off visual identity.

Movement Analysis

The VS3135 inside handles hours, minutes, running seconds, and a date function at 3 o’clock. The movement winds bidirectionally and supports hacking for precise time-setting. The all-black aesthetic extends from the dial to the bezel markings, with luminous indices providing the only contrast. The nylon strap replaces the Oyster bracelet, shaving additional weight and adding flexibility for active wear. The full Submariner collection covers everything from polished two-tone gold to matte carbon like this one. For a carbon variant with a different dial tone, the iced-out 116610LV-2 with green dial pairs the sport silhouette with a different visual approach entirely.

What Sets It Apart

An all-black carbon Submariner occupies a niche that standard catalog references do not cover. The combination of forged carbon case, black dial, and nylon strap produces a watch that disappears into a dark wardrobe while maintaining every functional element of the original dive tool. The weight reduction alone changes how the watch moves on the wrist during activity. This replica Submariner carbon converts the most iconic diver into stealth-mode hardware without losing any of the silhouette that made it recognizable.
