The Rolex Submariner ref 116610 is a modern take on a timeless dive watch, the incomparable Submariner date. The first Submariner to receive a date complication was the ref 1680 in watches first appearing in the late ‘60s, about 15 years after the introduction of the Submariner in 1953. The inclusion of a date function makes this Sub, along with the small magnifying “cyclops”, make it a perfect option for practical daily use. The dial remains high legible thanks to large, Chromalight hour markers and hands set against a glossy black dial. Inside the Submariner Date resides the Rolex built automatic caliber 3135, a certified chronometer with 48 hours of power reserve. On the wrist, the Submariner 116610 wears excellent at 40mm in diameter with substantial lugs and case depth to let you know it’s there. The Cerachrom bezel is distinctive and will never fade thanks its ceramic construction. Being the penultimate dive watch, the Submariner Date features a depth rating of 1,000ft/300m, and above the water, it will pair well with pretty much everything in your wardrobe.
