In 2020, Rolex unveiled a new chapter in its storied history with the release of the Submariner ref. 126610LV, an instant classic following the iconic Hulk ref. 116610LV. The latter, famous for its striking green-on-green design, had itself succeeded the legendary 50th-anniversary reference 16610LV, affectionately known as the “Kermit.” The influence of the Kermit is unmistakable in the ref. 126610LV, featuring a black dial that pays homage to its predecessor. This latest iteration introduces a newly designed case, boasting a contemporary 41 mm diameter. The revamped lugs showcase a slightly concave and slimmer profile, injecting a touch of refinement into the watch’s aesthetics. Powering this horological marvel is the new calibre 3525, extending the power reserve to an impressive 70 hours compared to its predecessor’s 48 hours. The scratch-resistant green Cerachrom bezel, a standout feature from the Hulk, remains a hallmark celebrated for its durability, offering enhanced resistance and a vibrant color that stands the test of time. A luminescent capsule on the zero marker ensures legibility in all lighting conditions. The knurled edge of the bezel is thoughtfully designed, providing excellent grip even underwater, a testament to the Submariner’s functionality. Fondly nicknamed the “Starbucks” for its distinctive color scheme, the watch offered here is in impeccable overall condition, showing no evident signs of use. The Rolex Submariner ref. 126610LV represents a timeless evolution paying homage to its predecessors while embracing modernity. With its impeccable design, enhanced features, and iconic color scheme, this watch stands as a symbol of Rolex’s unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation.
