Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV 'Kermit'

Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV “Kermit”

Key product information

The Submariner 16610LV “Kermit” sports a 40 mm stainless-steel Oyster case with a screw-down Triplock crown, sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to 300 metres — built to endure the rigours of diving and everyday wear. Its most distinctive feature is the unidirectional aluminium bezel with a vibrant green “Lunette Verte” insert, paired with a glossy black “Maxi” dial featuring enlarged luminous hour markers and broader hands, engineered for superior legibility in low light. Inside beats the robust in-house automatic calibre 3135, with a 48-hour power reserve and chronometer certification — a movement long regarded as one of Rolex’s most reliable and enduring. The watch completes with a stainless-steel Oyster bracelet and solid end-links, giving it a balanced, classic Submariner wrist presence.

Key brand heritage & significance

Introduced in 2003 to mark the 50th anniversary of the original Rolex Submariner line, the 16610LV “Kermit” was the first Submariner to wear a green bezel — a bold departure from tradition that instantly made it iconic. It remains the only green-bezel, maxi dial Submariner made by Rolex with the aluminium-insert bezel - giving it great neo-vintage appeal. As part of Rolex’s esteemed Submariner lineage — itself one of horology’s most revered dive-watch families — the “Kermit” embodies a blend of tool-watch practicality, understated elegance, and collector desirability.
