Historical Context

Evolution of Green Submariners:

• The 126610LV continues Rolex's tradition of incorporating green into the Submariner line, which began with the 16610LV "Kermit" in 2003 for the Submariner’s 50th anniversary.

• Its predecessor, the 116610LV "Hulk" (2010–2020), featured a green bezel and matching green sunburst dial, making it a bold departure from the traditional black-dial Submariners.

• The 126610LV returns to a green bezel paired with a classic black dial, offering a design more reminiscent of the original 16610LV "Kermit."

Launch in 2020:

• Released alongside the 126610LN (the black-bezel version), the 126610LV debuted as part of the updated Submariner collection.

• Rolex introduced subtle yet significant design and movement changes that set it apart from earlier models.

Key Features of the 126610LV

Case:

• Size: The case was increased slightly to 41 mm, compared to the 40 mm case of its predecessor. This new size is designed for improved proportions and wearability.

• Slimmed Lugs: The lugs were slimmed down compared to the "Super Case" design of the 116610 series, offering a sleeker profile reminiscent of vintage Submariners.

Bezel:

• The bezel is crafted from Cerachrom, Rolex’s proprietary ceramic, which is scratch-resistant and highly durable.

• The green bezel adds a vibrant contrast to the black dial and has been described as "emerald-like" in its tone, softer than the bright green of the Hulk.

Dial:

• A classic black dial with Chromalight luminescence provides exceptional legibility in low-light conditions.

• Retains the iconic Submariner design elements, including Mercedes hands and a date display at 3 o’clock with a Cyclops lens.

Movement:

• Powered by the Caliber 3235, a state-of-the-art movement featuring Rolex’s Chronergy escapement.

• Offers a 70-hour power reserve, enhanced shock resistance, and magnetic protection, making it a robust and reliable choice for both diving and everyday wear.

• COSC-certified for chronometer precision and further tested by Rolex for -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy.

Bracelet and Clasp:

• Equipped with the iconic Oyster bracelet, featuring a Glidelock extension system for easy adjustment, ideal for divers wearing the watch over a wetsuit.
