More information
Following in the footsteps of the anniversary Submariner reference 16610LV, affectionately known as "the Kermit" due to its distinctive green metal bezel, Rolex introduced the 116610LV as its successor. This timepiece marked a significant evolution by incorporating Rolex's renowned Cerachrom bezel in a lush green hue, harmoniously paired with a sunburst green dial. The debut of this model in 2010 brought with it notable improvements, including broader lugs for enhanced presence and Rolex's innovative Glidelock bracelet clasp, allowing for convenient and precise adjustments.
Fittingly referred to as the "Hulk," this timepiece became a beloved icon in its own right. However, its remarkable journey came to an end in 2020 when it was discontinued. In its place, Rolex introduced another successor in 2021, affectionately dubbed the "Starbucks" or "Cermit." This iteration retained the striking green Cerachrom bezel but adopted a black dial, complemented by an updated 41 mm case. With each evolution, these Rolex Submariners continue to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike, bearing witness to the brand's unwavering commitment to precision and style.
