The history of this Rolex Submariner Date
Rolex has built its reputation on timepieces designed for professionals. From the 1950s onwards, the Submariner established itself as the gold standard in diving watches. In 2020, the manufacturer unveiled the reference 126610LV, which revives the spirit of the 2003 anniversary edition. Collectors appreciate this return to the black dial paired with the green bezel. A technical aside serves as a reminder that green is the Geneva-based brand’s signature colour, and applying it to ceramic requires a particularly rigorous pigmentation process. This model meets the expectations of enthusiasts seeking reliable timepieces with a distinctive visual identity.
Case, movement and bracelet of this Submariner Date
The 41 mm case is crafted from Oystersteel. This material guarantees optimum resistance to corrosion. The watch is in an unpolished condition, preserving the factory-finished bevels. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a green Cerachrom insert. The black lacquered dial features white gold hour markers and a blue-emitting Chromalight display. The date is visible through the Cyclops lens. The watch is powered by the self-winding Calibre 3235. This movement comprises 31 jewels and offers a power reserve of 70 hours at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Water resistance is guaranteed to 300 metres thanks to the Triplock screw-down crown. The Oyster bracelet fastens with the Oysterlock safety clasp and Glidelock extension.
Why this Rolex watch
This version with a green bezel remains difficult to find in official boutiques. It embodies a confident balance between the austerity of the black dial and the boldness of the green. The fact that it has never been polished since its release makes it a highly sought-after piece for discerning collectors. Owning this version allows you to combine the pleasure of wearing it regularly with the acquisition of an essential reference in contemporary sports watchmaking.
