Rolex Submariner Date Ceramic 'Hulk', 116610LV

The origins of the ‘Hulk’ trace back to 2003 with the introduction of the 50th Anniversary Submariner. It was the first time an additional colour had been used on one of Rolex’s professional divers’ watches and, following the overwhelming reception it received, Rolex unveiled an entirely new generation in 2010. Featuring the updated Super Case architecture, Glidelock extension system, vibrant green sunburst dial and green Cerachrom bezel insert, the reference 116610LV quickly established itself as one of the most iconic modern Rolex sports watches. Combining exceptional functionality with unmistakable aesthetics, it remains a favourite amongst collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, highlighting Rolex’s unrivalled ability to produce enduringly desirable timepieces.

Now discontinued as of 1st September 2020, this example is housed in the classic 40mm Oystersteel Oyster case and fitted with a unidirectional green Cerachrom bezel featuring a 60-minute graduated diving scale. The striking green dial is equipped with Chromalight luminous hour markers and hands for exceptional legibility in low-light conditions, while the date aperture at 3 o’clock is enhanced by Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens. Powered by the Rolex calibre 3135 self-winding chronometer-certified movement, it offers outstanding reliability and precision. Water resistant to 300 metres (1,000 feet) courtesy of the Triplock screw-down winding crown and fitted to the iconic Oyster bracelet with the Glidelock extension system, the Submariner Date 116610LV delivers professional diving capability alongside timeless everyday versatility.

Originally purchased in January 2013, this example is presented in mint condition and was serviced in 2016. It is complete with its original inner and outer boxes, swing tag, seal, guarantee manual, service card and international warranty card.
