History of the Submariner Date
Rolex introduced the Submariner in 1953 as a diver's watch without a date. In 1969 reference 1680 followed as the first Submariner with a date display. The watch evolved through references 16800 and 16610, and in 2010 the 116610LN received a ceramic bezel and a more robust case. The current generation has been built as reference 126610LN since 2020.
Technology of the current generation
Inside works the in-house calibre 3235 with Chronergy escapement and around 70 hours of power reserve. Rolex certifies it as a Superlative Chronometer with a rate deviation of no more than two seconds per day once cased. The Triplock crown seals the case to 300 metres, and the Glidelock extension in the bracelet can be adjusted in small steps without tools.
Colours and nicknames
The black 126610LN is the best-known version. With a green bezel, collectors call the 126610LV the Starbucks, and its predecessor 116610LV with green dial is known as the Hulk. The 126613LB in Rolesor with blue dial is called the Bluesy. You will find further models under Submariner Blue and Submariner Gold, and the version without date under Submariner No Date.
