Rolex Submariner Date Steel 116610LN - 2018

Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116610LN (Steel, 2018)

The Rolex Submariner Date with reference 116610LN from 2018 is the undisputed epitome of the modern dive watch and one of the most sought-after models in the entire history of watches. Since its introduction in 1953, the Submariner has shaped the design language of sporty timepieces like no other. This groundbreaking reference embodies the era of the distinctive “Maxi Case” and combines the indestructible tool watch genes of the original Submariner with the luxurious shine of the latest materials. It is an absolute all-rounder that looks just as perfect with a tailored suit as it does with a wetsuit.

• The distinctive 40-mm Oyster case: Made from the extremely corrosion-resistant Oystersteel (Steel 904L), this case is characterized by the broader lugs and the robust crown guard of the “Super Case” generation, giving the watch a particularly powerful presence on the wrist.

• Scratch-resistant Cerachrom Ceramic bezel: The unidirectional rotating dive bezel features a deep black, scratch-resistant Ceramic insert. The engraved numerals and graduations are coated with a fine platinum layer using a PVD process to ensure lasting brilliance.

• Iconic dial with Maxi-Dial: The glossy black dial impresses with its excellent symmetry and enlarged indices (“Maxi Dial”). Together with the characteristic Mercedes hands, it creates the unmistakable Submariner look.

• Outstanding Chromalight luminescence: For perfect readability underwater or at night, the hands and indices are filled with Rolex’s proprietary Chromalight luminescent material, which glows in a clear, intense Blue in the dark.

• Legendary Caliber 3135: Inside works the extremely robust and proven automatic manufacture movement 3135. Equipped with the paramagnetic Parachrom hairspring, it offers excellent stability against shocks and temperature variations as well as a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

• Professional diving performance: Thanks to the triple-sealed Triplock winding crown and the hermetic case architecture, the watch guarantees water resistance up to 300 meters (30 ATM).

• Oyster bracelet with Glidelock system: The three-link Steel bracelet offers maximum security through the innovative Oysterlock safety clasp. The patented Glidelock system also allows the bracelet to be extended in 2-mm increments up to 20 mm without tools – ideal for adjustment on hot days or over a diving suit.

• A sought-after milestone (vintage 2018): As a model from 2018, this watch belongs to the late and technically fully matured examples of this legendary 40-mm reference before it was replaced in 2020 by the subsequent 41-mm generation – an absolute classic with a consistently strong collector focus.
