The Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV, affectionately known as the “Kermit,” is a special edition watch that was introduced in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner line. This timepiece features a distinctive green aluminium bezel insert, a characteristic that immediately sets it apart from other Submariner models. The Kermit also boasts a black “maxi dial” with larger indices that enhance readability, making it a practical choice for divers and watch enthusiasts alike. From a technical standpoint, the 16610LV is identical to the standard Submariner Date ref. 16610, sharing the same 40mm stainless steel case and powered by the reliable Calibre 3135. This movement features a 48-hour power reserve and is certified as a superlative chronometer. The watch also comes fitted with an Oyster bracelet and offers a 300m water resistance, ensuring it is both durable and stylish. The Kermit has become a coveted collector’s item, with various minor variations such as the “Flat 4” commanding premium prices on the market.
