The Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV “Kermit” is a highly sought-after and iconic timepiece that commemorates the Submariner’s 50th anniversary. Crafted in stainless steel, it features the classic 40mm Oyster case paired with a vibrant green aluminum bezel insert, a signature design element that gives this model its “Kermit” nickname.

The black dial, with its Maxi-style hour markers and hands, offers excellent legibility and a subtle contrast to the bold green bezel. Powered by Rolex’s automatic Caliber 3135, the 16610LV delivers reliable performance and features the Submariner’s hallmark 300-meter water resistance. The classic Oyster bracelet, with its brushed and polished links, completes the watch’s timeless and robust aesthetic. With its limited production run and distinctive design, the “Kermit” has become one of the most celebrated modern Submariner references, representing a unique blend of Rolex heritage and innovation.

The Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV "Kermit" is an iconic dive watch that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Submariner collection. Released in 2003, and produced through 2010, this reference marked a significant departure from the traditional Submariner design, featuring a striking green aluminum bezel insert, which earned it the nickname "Kermit." The particular example with the "Flat 4" bezel is one of the most desirable variations among collectors, distinguished by the flat-topped numeral "4" in the bezel’s 40-minute marker.

The 40mm stainless steel case retains Rolex’s classic proportions, offering both robustness and elegance. The black dial contrasts beautifully with the green bezel, maintaining the Submariner's signature legibility with luminous hour markers and Mercedes-style hands. A date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by Rolex’s Cyclops lens, adds functionality while preserving the watch’s balanced aesthetic.

Powered by the Caliber 3135 automatic movement, the 16610LV offers precise timekeeping with a 48-hour power reserve. The Oyster bracelet, crafted in stainless steel, ensures durability and comfort, featuring an Oysterlock clasp and a Glidelock extension system for easy adjustment. With its combination of historical significance, distinctive design, and collectibility—particularly in early "Flat 4" variations—this Submariner "Kermit" remains one of the most sought-after Rolex models for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Best purchase experience I could have imagined. Donald from Wrist Aficionado was very helpful and responsive whether by text, phone call or email. Shared videos with me and helped me get the watch I have been chasing for sometime. I have found my preferred watch dealer and will be a repeat customer. Payment processed same day and the watch ship later that day. A Very Happy Customer. Thank you everyone at the WA team!

Dealing with Vadim was a pleasure. The price was very fair and the communication and service was perfect. I buy a lot of watches and this experience was as good as they get. The audemars piguet arrived right on time and packaged beautifully. They even threw in a little gift!
