Submariner Date 'Hulk'

Rolex Submariner Date 116610LV

The Rolex Submariner Date – Ref. 116610LV, widely known as the “Hulk,” stands as one of the most distinctive modern Submariner references ever produced. Manufactured from 2010 to 2020, it is defined by its fully green aesthetic — combining a vivid sunburst green dial with a matching Cerachrom ceramic bezel housed in a 40 mm Oystersteel case.

The robust Oystersteel (904L) case features broader lugs and reinforced crown guards, giving the “Hulk” its more muscular profile. Its unidirectional rotatable bezel incorporates a green ceramic insert with platinum-coated numerals and graduations. The Triplock screw-down crown ensures water integrity, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal includes the signature Cyclops lens (2.5× magnification) over the date.

Inside operates the reliable Rolex Calibre 3135, an in-house automatic movement certified as a Superlative Chronometer. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), it features a Parachrom hairspring for enhanced resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, hacking seconds, quick-set date functionality, and a 48-hour power reserve.

Engineered as a professional dive instrument, the Submariner “Hulk” offers 300 meters of water resistance, paired with the Oyster bracelet equipped with the Glidelock extension system for precise, tool-free micro-adjustment.

A modern icon within Rolex’s dive-watch lineage, the 116610LV combines bold aesthetics with proven professional performance.
