Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV “Kermit” – Green Bezel
16610LV • 40mm Stainless Steel • Black Maxi Dial & Green Aluminum Bezel • Automatic
OVERVIEW
Offered for sale is the Rolex Submariner Date, reference 16610LV, better known among collectors as the “Kermit.”
Introduced in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Submariner, the 16610LV marked the first production Submariner to feature Rolex’s now-iconic green bezel. Unlike the ceramic bezel found on modern Submariners, the Kermit features a green aluminum bezel insert, giving it the unmistakable character of the neo-vintage Rolex era.
The watch pairs its green bezel with a black Maxi dial, featuring larger luminous hour markers for improved legibility. Its 40mm stainless-steel Oyster case retains the slimmer proportions associated with pre-ceramic Submariners, making the 16610LV particularly attractive to collectors who prefer the proportions of earlier Rolex sports watches.
Powering the watch is the proven Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement, featuring a quickset date and approximately 48 hours of power reserve.
Produced from 2003 until 2010, the 16610LV occupies an important position in Submariner history and remains one of the most recognizable neo-vintage Rolex sports models.
