SUMMARY
The Rolex Submariner 16610LV, or ‘Kermit’, was first released in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the world’s most recognised dive watch. Several changes over the regular Submariner were introduced to mark this special model, not least the striking green aluminium bezel insert - an ode to Rolex’s corporate colour and a symbol of the brand. The other key differentiator was the “maxi-dial”, further improving legibility and giving a subtle nod to the design of early Submariners.
The anniversary model benefits from all the regular features that have made the Submariner such a rugged and dependable watch. The 40mm Oyster case and bracelet are made from corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel, and the trip-lock crown affords 300 metres of waterproofness.
