What makes the Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone (ref. 126613LN) special is not just one thing — it is the combination. The movement inside is refined, precise, and built to last. Its black dial with Chromalight display, Cyclops date at 3 o'clock, and a black Cerachrom unidirectional rotatable 60-minute bezel. And at 21mm lug width, it is a watch that rewards experimentation with straps.
The 41mm case with its 12.5mm profile gives you just enough wrist presence to anchor different strap materials without the watch disappearing. Here are my 7 picks — and why each one works.

1. Best Overall — Black Epsom Slim Strap
Every watch needs a go-to strap, and for the Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone, this is it.
The Black Epsom Slim Strap features Epsom leather, tanned by Haas. The fine, uniform grain gives it a clean, contemporary look that resists scratches and moisture with ease. This is leather that looks as sharp six months from now as it does on day one. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
Paired with the Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone's black dial, this strap adds a layer of personality that the factory option does not offer. The 12.5mm case thickness means a padded strap like this one feels proportional and substantial.
A combination that's greater than the sum of its parts.
2. Best Dressy — Matte Himalayan Alligator Signature Strap
When you need to dress the Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone up, this is the strap that delivers.
The Matte Himalayan Alligator Signature Strap is crafted from genuine alligator leather — not embossed calfskin, the real thing. Each scale pattern is unique, and the matte finish gives it a refined presence that catches light without being flashy. The leather is supple from the start with minimal break-in needed. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
On the Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone, this strap balances the tool-watch DNA with a touch of refinement. The 41mm case at 12.5mm thick pairs naturally with the padded construction without creating any imbalance on the wrist.
The kind of strap that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.
3. Best Everyday — Grigio Pueblo Slim Strap
An everyday strap needs to be comfortable from the jump and work with most of what you wear.
The Grigio Pueblo Slim Strap features Buttero leather from the Walpier tannery in Italy. This vegetable-tanned leather develops one of the most beautiful patinas in watchmaking — scratches blend into the surface and the colour deepens over time. If you enjoy watching your strap age gracefully, this is the one. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.

6. Best Sporty — Black CTS Rubber Strap
Function first, style a close second. This water-resistant pick balances both.
The Black CTS Rubber Strap is made from FKM rubber — a high-performance elastomer that resists chemicals, heat, and ageing. Unlike silicone, it does not attract dust or lint. Cut-to-size construction means you trim it to your exact wrist measurement — no leftover tail, no keepers. At 4.0–3.3mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.

7. The Wildcard — Natural Babele Slim Strap
Not the obvious choice, but sometimes the unexpected pairing is the best one.

A Note on Buckle Colour
Quick but important: always match your buckle to your case. The Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone's Yellow Rolesor (Oystersteel and 18ct yellow gold) case calls for a gold buckle to match. All Delugs leather straps ship with a pin buckle and can be upgraded to a Spring Deployant Clasp for extra security and convenience. All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars pre-installed, so swapping straps takes seconds.
How to Change the Strap on Your Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone
Swapping straps on the Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone is one of the easiest upgrades you can make — and with Delugs straps, you don't even need a tool.
If your Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone came on a bracelet, you'll first need to remove it. The easiest way to do this at home is with a Bracelet Removal Tool, which lets you compress the spring bars without risking scratches to the lugs or caseback. Once the bracelet is off, you can slide your new Delugs strap straight in.
All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars already pre-installed, so changing straps is completely tool-free. Here's how:
- Prepare your workspace. Lay the watch face-down on a soft cloth or microfiber pad to protect the caseback from scratches.
- Release the spring bar. Locate the small lever on the quick-release spring bar. Pull it back with your fingernail or fingertip to compress the bar.
- Remove the strap. While holding the lever, angle the strap out from between the lugs. Repeat for the other side.
- Insert the new strap. Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug hole. Pull the lever on the quick-release spring bar knob, guide the entire spring bar into the opposite lug hole, and then release the knob. You should hear a small click when the spring bar extends and seats into the lug hole.
- Check the fit. Give the strap a gentle tug to make sure both spring bars are securely locked in. If there's any play, reseat the spring bar.
The entire process takes under a minute once you get the hang of it — no spring bar tool required. The Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone uses a standard 21mm lug width, and all Delugs straps in 21mm will fit perfectly.
