Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116610LN

The Rolex Submariner Date with reference 116610LN from 2019 holds a prominent place in the evolution history of the world’s most legendary dive watch. It combines the distinctive, powerful presence of the Ceramic pioneer generation with the proven, decades-tested Caliber 3135. The abbreviation “LN” (Lunette Noire) stands for the deep black Ceramic bezel, which, combined with the deep black dial, embodies the essence of classic, maritime Rolex design. As a model from the penultimate production year of this reference, a piece from 2019 benefits from all the technical refinements of this era – an absolute cult classic with indestructible technology and enormous value stability.

• The groundbreaking Cerachrom Ceramic bezel: The defining visual feature is the unidirectional rotating diver’s bezel made of extremely scratch-resistant, UV-resistant black Cerachrom Ceramic. The recessed numerals and graduations of the 60-minute scale are coated with a fine platinum layer using the PVD process, ensuring lasting legibility and a subtle, noble shimmer.

• Powerful presence through the Supercase: The 40 mm case made of extremely corrosion-resistant Oystersteel (904L stainless steel) impresses with the distinctive “Supercase” featuring broader lugs and a solid crown guard. It gives the watch a confident, modern dynamic on the wrist.

• Deep black dial with Maxi-Dial: The glossy, deep black dial features the coveted enlarged indices and hands made of 18-carat White Gold (“Maxi-Dial”). The durable Chromalight luminescent material guarantees excellent legibility in the dark and underwater with its intense blue glow.

• Scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal with Cyclops lens: The dial is protected by an extremely hard Sapphire Crystal. At 3 o’clock, the unmistakable Rolex Cyclops lens magnifies the Date by two and a half times for quick orientation in everyday life.

• The unshakable manufacture Caliber 3135: Inside beats the legendary automatic tractor movement Caliber 3135. It is regarded by watchmakers worldwide as one of the most robust and precise automatic movements ever built. Equipped with the blue, paramagnetic Parachrom Breguet hairspring, it is certified as a chronometer of superlatives (-2/+2 seconds per day) and offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

• Professional diving performance (300m / 30 ATM): Thanks to the triple-secure Triplock winding crown and the hermetically screwed case back, the Submariner Date effortlessly withstands water pressure up to a depth of 300 meters.

• Oyster bracelet with ingenious Glidelock system: The classic is worn on the three-link Oystersteel bracelet with fully satin-finished surfaces. A real highlight is the Oysterlock safety folding clasp with the patented Glidelock system, which allows the bracelet length to be adjusted in fine 2 mm increments by up to 20 mm without tools.

• A mature collector’s classic (year 2019): As a late model of the 40 mm Supercase era, the Ref. 116610LN from 2019 represents the absolute perfection of this reference. Since it was shortly thereafter replaced by the 41 mm variant, it is considered by collectors and enthusiasts as an extremely sought-after, value-stable masterpiece.
