Rolex Submariner Date

Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116610LV “Hulk”

The Rolex Submariner Date, reference 116610LV, from 2019—reverently known worldwide by collectors and enthusiasts as the “Hulk”—is one of the most sought-after and iconic models in the modern history of the Geneva manufacture. Introduced in 2010 as the successor to the anniversary Submariner 16610LV (“Kermit”), reference 116610LV set new standards with its bold combination of a green Cerachrom ceramic bezel and a captivating, green sunburst dial. Manufactured before the model line was discontinued in 2020, this late example from 2019 represents the absolute pinnacle of a modern legend with enormous collector potential.

• Distinctive 40 mm “Super Case” in Oystersteel: Crafted from highly corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel. The Super Case features more robust lugs and a wider crown guard, giving the watch an unmistakable, powerful presence on the wrist.

• Unidirectional Rotatable Cerachrom Ceramic Bezel in Green: Made from scratch-resistant, UV-resistant high-tech ceramic. The recesses in the 60-minute diving scale are precisely lined with a fine layer of platinum using the PVD process, ensuring lasting shine and optimal legibility.

• Hypnotic Green Sunburst Dial (Sunburst Green Dial): Depending on the light, the dial fascinates with shifting shades ranging from deep, almost black olive to a brilliant, emerald-green shimmer. Set with enlarged hour markers and hands in 18-karat White Gold (Maxi Dial).
