WOTW: Shane Lowry’s Rolex Submariner 41 Date “Starbucks” in Green Ceramic

Published

on

Shane Lowry won the BMW PGA Championship this weekend, just beating Rory and Jon Rahm by 1 shot. You could tell Shane was excited about the win and even was quoted saying, “I’m the happiest man in the world right now.” Shane showed his big smile off while holding the champion’s trophy, all while wearing a Rolex Submariner “Starbucks” on his wrist.

Shane’s Submariner was introduced in 2020 and is one of the newest color combinations in the Submariner lineup. There have been other green and black color ways since the Submariner’s introduction in 1953. The original Submariner watches were built to supply the growing diving industry. Diving was brought back from the war and started to turn into a great hobby instead of just work and salvage.

The current generation Submariner was introduced by Rolex in 2020 with an updated case and movement. The Submariner has become a legendary watch and influenced almost every dive watch since its introduction. The new case on the Submariner has been expanded 1mm to 41 and it is made from of a solid block of 904L Oystersteel. Rolex chose 904L stainless steel because it is highly resistant to corrosion and takes a polish that lasts longer than traditional stainless. The right side of the case contains the crown that features Rolex’s Triplock waterproof system with triple seals to ensure the Submariner can reach a depth of 300 meters. The caseback is solid stainless steel and screws down into the case.

The bezel on top of the case is made from stainless steel and contains an insert made from Rolex’s Cerachrom ceramic. The green ceramic is highly scratch resistant contains a divers scale etched into it. The combination of the green bezel and black dial have given this Submariner the “Starbucks” nickname. The colors are the same as in the logo for the famous coffee brand and collectors like to add these names to Rolex watches. The black dial contains large hour markers made from white gold and filled with Rolex’s Chromalight luminescent material. Shane’s Submariner has the date at 3 o’clock and that window is covered by a cyclops lens on the sapphire crystal.

Inside the Submariner is an updated Calibre 3235 self-winding, automatic movement that was designed and built in house. The 3235 features Rolex’s Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers for added durability and accuracy. Thirty one jewels keep all the main parts moving smoothly and the perpetual rotor winds the watch to give you up to 70 hours of power reserve. A Rolex Oyster bracelet keeps the Submariner on your wrist and is crafted from flat links of solid 904L Oystersteel. A folding Oysterlock safety clasp keeps the bracelet together and contains the Glidelock system for extending the bracelet without the use of any tools.

The “Starbucks” Submariner is a pretty popular model and it will be very hard to find one at your local Rolex dealer. The retail price is $10,600 but expect to pay around $18,500 for a new Submariner on the secondary market.

Tour Tech Rundown: Heroic Henley

Published

on

Around the world, the golf wheel spun this final week in May of 2026. From New Jersey to Austria, with stops in Korea, Texas, and North Carolina (don’t let me route your next trip) the world’s finest put their golf games on display. There were three playoffs, some known commodities and some new talent. It was the sort of week that we hope to have at this point in the seasons. June and July afford double-digit major events, and perhaps, one of this week’s champions will use this success as a springboard to new heights. Time to run it all down, tech style, in this week’s Tour Tech Rundown.

Thanks to WITBHub, Today’s Golfer, GolfWRX, and Inside Tour Golf for initial research into equipment.

PGA Tour @ Charles Schwab Challenge: Heroic Henley denies Cole

Eric Cole did nearly everything that a fellow can do, to secure a first PGA Tour title. He stayed one shot clear of Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin. He kept US Open champion Gary Woodland and wunderkind Michael Brennan two shots distant. He posted 70 on day four to reach twelve under par. And then, Russell Henley revealed his Dr. Strange cloak. Henley made 47 feet of birdie putts on holes 16, 17, and 18, to jump from minus-nine to twelve-deep, and secured a spot in a playoff with Cole. The duo returned to the final tee, and put on a stripe show.

Both golfers found the fairway off the tee, and Henley improved on his regulation play with an approach to four feet. Cole did himself proud, tucking an iron to a dozen feet, but he was unable to convert the putt for three. Henley is one of the best putters on tour, and he proved it once more by draining a putt for a fourth consecutive birdie, and a sixth PGA Tour title. For Eric Cole, that first victory should come, and soon. He has done everything necessary to earn the chalice lift.

LPGA @ Shoprite LPGA: Welcome back, Celine!

Soo Bin Joo had her eyes on a maiden LPGA title. She held the lead after two rounds, then hit a red light at the intersection of can-I and how-To. Joo posted plus-two on day three in New Jersey, and dropped to a T4 finish, which was still a career-best for the young Korean golfer. Instead of a new face, a familiar face returned to the top of the podium.

Celine Boutier was the It Girl in 2023. She collected four victories, including a major title at Evian. Boutier reached world number one status, then simply faded into the background. No wins came her way over the next 30 months. On Sunday, she collected LPGA victory number seven, at the same trace as LPGA victory number two.

Day three saw Boutier manage the windswept Seaview Bay course with six birdies and a bogey. She was challenged in the end by Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, who signed for a 66 of her own. Yubol came up one shot shy of the top ladder rung. Finishing in third place at -7, two back of the winner, was Ireland’s Lauren Walsh.

DP World Tour @ Austrian Alpine: KK? KK!

Kota Kaneko has a rhythmic name. It has strong vowels and a run of voiceless stops in its crunchy K sounds. On Sunday in Austria, Kaneko put a stop to a challenge from Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia and everyone else, and claimed a first-ever title on the DP World Tour. Gouveia did well to reach 16-under par over four days, but Kaneko held firm, two shots in the clear.

Davis Bryant of the USA also forged a strong challenge for the win. He ended in a tie with Gouveia for second place. Kaneko began and finished his final round in a bit of a malaise, but he caught fire midway through. Birdies at 10, 12, and 13 provided the necessary cushion to cruise to the finish line without breaking a serious sweat.

  • Metals: TaylorMade Qi4D at 15, 16.5, 21, and 24 degrees

  • Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design at 46, 52, 56, and 60 degrees
  • Putter: Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser Arm Lock #7

Korn Ferry Tour @ UNC Health Championship: Improbably Alvaro

Alvaro Ortiz may have had a bit of scare on the outward nine on Sunday, but he came through in clutch fashion in the end. Ortiz began the day bogey-double, and added another double bogey at the 11th hole. He was mired in a downward trend, spiraling away from the top of the leader’s board. Ortiz found hope at the 14th, where his first birdie of the day tumbled home. Inspired, he closed with birdies and 17 and 18 to catch Ross Steelman at 10-under par, and the duo returned to the 18th deck for overtime.

The extra session concluded in brief time. Ortiz, buoyed by his newly-retrieved confidence, hit the fairway with driver, then approached to six feet and drained the putt. Gobsmacked, Steelman could do little more than smile and applaud, as his run at the top came to a close. The victory was the first for Ortiz on the KFT, and will implant him squarely in the chase for a PGA Tour promotion.

Alvaro’s Suitcase

  • Metal: Ping G430 MAX 3W
  • Iron: Ping iDi Driving Iron

LIV @ Korea: Me llamo Joaquin

Chile’s Joaquin Niemann had been away from the LIV winner’s circle throughout all of 2026. This week in Korea, he reminded us that he is still a force to consider. Niemann chased down Taylor Gooch over the closing holes at Asiad Country Club, then claimed victory with a hole-one birdie in extra time. Bryson DeChambeau claimed solo third, one shot in arrears at minus-eleven. Dustin Johnson finished on fourth, one putt farther back.

Niemann’s Suitcase

  • Driver: Ping 440 LST
