Rolex Company Has Launched New Rolex Submariner 16610LV "Kermit" Watch ...

Highlights:

* With Manufacturer Serial Numbers, M Serial Number.

* Anniversary Edition Green Aluminum Bezel Insert.

* COSC Superlative Chronometer Certified.

      The Submariner is perhaps Rolex's most famous watch. Back in 2003, a special variation was produced to commemorate Rolex’s 50th anniversary of the model. The watch was launched with a bright, striking green bezel, and thus quickly nicknamed as the "Kermit”. Whilst only being produced for a few years, the watch quickly gained a cult following. A successor of the watch made an appearance with both a green dial and green bezel. This year, a new version has been released- the 126610LV with all the craze it continues to drive up the value of the original. 

      Rolex has long associated itself with the color green. Its logo, boxes, hang tags, etc. are all green. The brand has never offered any official explanation for why this is. The general consensus though is that it’s because green is synonymous with money. And by extension success, power and so on. All things Rolex seeks to represent.

      The Oyster case is a compact 40mm in diameter (excluding the crown and crown guards). And it stands around 13mm high, meaning it can slide under your cuff with ease. The lugs are thinner than on later models, such as the Hulk, which makes it well suited to smaller wrists. But you still have the benefit of the maxi-dial. As with all modern Submariners, the case is water resistant to 300m.

      It’s modern enough to make you feel like you’re wearing a ‘new’ watch. But also has a hint of a vintage vibe to it, a sort of retro cool. It’s almost a throwback to to the Submariners of the 80s and 90s, but with more contemporary styling. And quality control.

      Inside is the ultra-reliable Rolex Caliber 3135. It’s one of the brand’s oldest production movements and is still in use in the Submariner today. (At the time of writing at least.) Certified as a superlative chronometer, it offers a 48-hour power reserve. Along with a quick-change date.
