Produced in extremely limited quantities to mark the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Submariner.
The Rolex Submariner and "The Incredible Hulk" completed their unlikely 48-year collision course in 2010. While the renowned durability of each may have been their only common thread for a half-century, the Baselworld 2010 appearance of the Rolex Submariner 116610 LV "Incredible Hulk" forever bound the two icons from Rolex and Marvel Comics.
But the green Cerachrom bezel and sunburst metallic dial of the Submariner 116610 LV aren”t sober touches. They”re incredible.
Rolex debuted the 116610 LV "Hulk" as the heir to its well-loved 16610 LV fiftieth anniversary model that debuted in 2003 to mark a half-century of the world”s favorite dive watch. Critically, the "Hulk" broke from the color scheme of its predecessor, which featured a green bezel in tandem with a black dial. Green is a long-running corporate signature of Rolex, and for 2010, the Geneva giant doubled-down with a second helping of verdure.
The green dial, which Rolex described as "green gold" upon its launch, is a soleil pattern metallic finish that radiates from the junction of the hands and pulls one”s eyes toward the matching bezel. In direct light, the dial has a three-dimensional effect and morphs between shades of green as light dances across its gentle sunburst grain pattern.
Like the Hulk himself, the appearance and intensity of this dial are anything but static.
The benefits of ceramic bezels are present in full; Rolex”s Cerachrom never will fade, rub off, or wear-through. Its resistance to scratches and scuffs is as formidable as a sapphire crystal, and barring a truly catastrophic hit, only diamond or gamma-enhanced violence can mar Cerachrom.
Rolex never fails to deliver durability, but refinement is the other pillar of its reputation. To that end, the Submariner 116610 LV”s incorporates deposited platinum within the recesses of the indexes and numerals of the ceramic bezel.
