SUMMARY

The ‘Starbucks’ Submariner is among the latest generation of Rolex’s archetypal dive watch. This reference features a green ‘Cerachrom’ ceramic bezel which has become a favourite amongst collectors and follows in the footsteps of the anniversary Submariner and the “Hulk” ref. 116610LV. Rolex has increased the case to 41mm for the first time in the model’s history, but the revised lug profile and wider bracelet give the watch a more streamlined and seamless look.

The watch is paired with the Oyster bracelet that incorporates a Glidelock system in the clasp - offering up to 20mm of incremental tool-free adjustment to the wearer. Housed inside the 300m waterproof case is the calibre 3235. This automatic movement is chronometer-certified and tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day. The power reserve is rated at 70 hours.
