The Rolex Submariner Date "Hulk" model 116610LV from 2012 is an iconic and highly sought-after variant of the famous Submariner series. This particular version received the nickname "Hulk" due to its striking green dial and matching green Cerachrom bezel, creating a bold and vibrant appearance.
Design and Aesthetics:
Dial: The Hulk's dial is a vivid green that perfectly complements the green bezel. Excellent readability is ensured through broad, luminous hour markers and hands. As with all Submariner models, the date is located at the 3 o'clock position, enhanced by the signature Cyclops lens on the sapphire crystal for improved legibility.
Case: The case of the watch measures 40 mm in diameter and is crafted from Oystersteel, a highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel alloy. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a green Cerachrom insert, selected by Rolex for its scratch resistance and color durability.
Technical Features:
Movement: The Hulk is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement renowned for its precision and reliability. The movement is Swiss Chronometer certified, meaning it has passed rigorous precision tests.
Water Resistance: The Submariner Date 116610LV is water-resistant to a depth of 300 meters (1000 feet), making it ideal for diving and other underwater activities. This high water resistance is supported by the robust Oyster case and screw-down crown system.
Bracelet:
- The bracelet is also crafted from Oystersteel and features an Oysterlock safety clasp to prevent accidental opening. The Glidelock system allows for fine adjustments in bracelet length without tools, which is particularly useful for wearing the watch over a diving suit.
