Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 16610

+ Free Shipping

A key reason for the Submariner’s enduring popularity is its consistency; the model has kept its classic design—black bezel, black dial, bold markers, and iconic Oyster bracelet—largely unchanged, with only subtle refinements. Rolex has remained faithful to this signature look, shaping the dive watch genre.

Introduced in 1987, the ref. 16610 marked the shift to modern Submariners as one of the first five-digit references, bridging the vintage and modern eras. It featured a revamped case design, an aluminum bezel insert, and an upgraded water resistance of 300 meters. The 40mm by 13mm model reinforced Rolex’s reputation for blending timeless design with gradual technological upgrades.

The 16610 dial offers Rolex’s classic diver layout with a three o’clock Cyclops date window, luminescent markers, and a dark background for legibility. This model also spans Rolex’s transition from tritium to LumiNova, giving early examples a vintage patina while later versions remain stark white.

Powered by the Rolex caliber 3135, a robust automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve, the 16610 is protected by a solid case back and paired with a secure stainless steel Oyster bracelet and safety clasp.
