SUMMARY

The ref. 16610 was manufactured between 1988 and 2010 and has become a highly sought-after reference thanks to its perfect blend of classic looks and modern build quality. The stainless steel Oyster case measures 40mm in diameter and features a rotating bezel with a black aluminium insert. Legibility on the dial is maximised through the use of white gold hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova. A trip-lock screw-down crown affords 300m of waterproofness. The attached Oyster bracelet is rugged and functional and equipped with a FlipLock wetsuit extension. Internally, the watch is powered by Rolex’s tried and tested calibre 3135 movement, which has a 48-hour power reserve and is chronometer certified.
