Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN 40mm (2010)

The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN is a modern classic that blends the heritage of the Submariner line with serious dive-ready engineering. Its 40 mm stainless steel case — slightly beefed up with broader lugs and crown guards (“Maxi case”) — delivers a bolder wrist presence than earlier Subs, yet remains wearing-friendly and balanced. The black dial features large luminous hour markers and hands with Rolex’s Chromalight lume for exceptional low-light visibility, complemented by a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert that is highly scratch-resistant and fade-proof. With its Triplock screw-down crown and 300 m water-resistance, it’s built for underwater exploration — but the polished and brushed Oystersteel case and bracelet also make it handsome enough for daily wear or formal occasions. Inside ticks the proven automatic Calibre 3135, ensuring dependable timekeeping and date function via the signature Cyclops lens. In short, 116610LN is a perfect balance of rugged diving capability, everyday versatility, and iconic Rolex styling.
