Submariner (116610LV)

The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LV is a bold and vibrant take on the legendary Submariner line. Affectionately nicknamed the "Hulk", it's revered not only for its distinctive green dial and bezel but also for its robust build and professional-grade dive capabilities. A perfect blend of iconic design and standout personality, the 116610LV is as striking underwater as it is on the wrist at any occasion.

The Rolex Submariner Date, reference 116610LV, brings an energetic and contemporary flair to the world of luxury dive watches. It features a 40mm Oystersteel case that delivers exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting durability and a premium finish. The unidirectional rotatable bezel is outfitted with a green Cerachrom ceramic insert, engraved with a 60-minute graduated scale for accurate dive time tracking. Complementing the bezel is the vibrant green dial—unique to the 116610LV—accentuated by luminous hour markers and Rolex's signature Chromalight display, offering long-lasting blue luminescence for optimal readability in low-light conditions.

Under the hood, the watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a COSC-certified automatic movement known for its reliability, precision, and 48-hour power reserve. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is fitted with a Cyclops lens at 3 o'clock, magnifying the date for easy visibility. Engineered for performance, the Triplock screw-down crown, combined with Rolex's triple waterproofness system and a solid screw-down case back, ensures water resistance up to 300 metres (1,000 feet). This makes the 116610LV not only a bold design statement but also a dependable companion for serious divers and enthusiasts alike.

The Oyster bracelet, crafted from durable Oystersteel, ensures both comfort and durability. Its Glidelock clasp allows for precise, tool-free micro-adjustments, enabling a secure and snug fit whether worn with a wetsuit or on bare skin. With its striking green aesthetic, professional dive credentials, and Rolex's hallmark craftsmanship, the Submariner 116610LV stands as a modern icon—a timepiece that's as functional as it is unforgettable.

The dial, hands, and movement appear flawless. The case and buckle appear to have been slightly refinished and lugs exhibit dings and shallow marks not visible at arm's length. The original oyster bracelet exhibits no sign of wear and remains pliant and comfortable.
