Introduced in 2010 as a groundbreaking departure from the traditional black-dialed Submariners, the Submariner ref. 116610LV swiftly earned the moniker "Hulk" for its distinctive sunburst green dial and matching Cerachrom bezel. This vibrant combination not only distinguished it but also evoked the bold presence of the iconic Marvel superhero. Beyond its striking color, the Hulk boasted Rolex's innovative Maxi-case design, characterized by thicker lugs and a notably weightier case compared to its predecessor, the discontinued ref. 16610LV. This ushered in a new era for Rolex's dive watches, blending robust construction with eye-catching hues. Consequently, the Hulk attained legendary status among enthusiasts, remaining highly coveted and emblematic of the Submariner's enduring allure.
