The Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV, affectionately known as the “Kermit,” was introduced in 2003 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Submariner line. This model stands out with its green aluminum bezel insert, a bold departure from the traditional black, paired with a black Maxi dial featuring larger hour markers for enhanced legibility.
Crafted from 904L stainless steel, the 40mm Oyster case is built to withstand the rigors of deep-sea diving, offering 300 meters (1000 feet) of water resistance. The unidirectional rotating bezel allows divers to safely track immersion time, while the Cyclops lens magnifies the date window at 3 o’clock for easy reading.
Inside, the watch is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement known for its reliability and precision. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, it guarantees accuracy within −2/+2 seconds per day.
The Oyster bracelet features brushed outer links and polished center links, secured with a folding Oysterlock clasp and Glidelock extension system for quick adjustments. This model is presented in its original green Rolex box, complete with warranty card, booklets, tags, and extra bracelet links, making it a complete collector’s set.
The “Kermit” is a transitional icon—bridging classic Submariner styling with modern upgrades—and remains one of the most sought-after Rolex references among enthusiasts and investors alike.
