The Rolex Submariner 16610LV was introduced in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner collection. The "LV" in its name stands for "Lunette Verte," which translates to "green bezel" in French.

Green Bezel: One of the defining features of the 16610LV is its green aluminum bezel insert. The green color was a departure from the traditional black bezels found on most Submariner models and gave the watch a distinctive and celebratory look. This is also what’s known as the “Sharp-4” bezel.

Maxi Dial: The 16610LV features what Rolex enthusiasts refer to as a "Maxi dial." This refers to the larger hour markers and hands on the dial, providing better legibility, especially in low-light conditions.

Materials and Construction: The watch is crafted from stainless steel, a hallmark of Rolex sports watches. It has a 40mm case size and is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement known for its reliability and precision.

Water Resistance: As a Submariner model, the 16610LV is designed for diving and has a water resistance of up to 300 meters (1,000 feet).

Limited Production: While not a limited edition in the strictest sense, the 16610LV was produced for a limited time to mark the 50th anniversary, making it a collectible and sought-after model among Rolex enthusiasts.

Discontinuation: In 2010, Rolex officially discontinued the Submariner 16610LV, replacing it with the Submariner Date 116610LV, often referred to as the "Hulk." The Hulk features a green ceramic bezel and other design updates.
