Marking an important evolution for the brand, Rolex introduced the Submariner reference 126610LV in 2020, succeeding the iconic “Hulk” (ref. 116610LV). The updated model features a newly proportioned 41 mm case and retains the signature green Cerachrom bezel, now paired with a black dial, a nod to the original green-bezel Submariner, reference 16610LV, affectionately known as the “Kermit.”
The case has been subtly refined, with slimmer lugs that lend the watch a more tapered profile, while the lug width has been increased to 21 mm from the previous 20 mm.Powering the reference is Rolex’s caliber 3235, equipped with the patented Chronergy escapement, which enhances energy efficiency and reliability, improving escapement performance by approximately 15%. The movement also offers an extended power reserve of approximately 70 hours, compared to the 48 hours of its predecessor.
Nicknamed the “Starbucks” by collectors for its distinctive color combination, the present example, dating to circa 2021, is offered in very good condition and accompanied by its full set of accessories.
