WHAT WE LOVE:

The Submariner 16610 represents a cornerstone of modern Rolex design — combining the classic tool-watch charm of earlier Subs with the practicality of sapphire crystal and a modern calibre. This 1997 example is a particularly interesting one for collectors, featuring a tritium dial (as denoted by the “Swiss – T < 25” text) that offers strong lume professionally done by Rolex.

The case still retains strong proportions, paired with a 93150 Oyster bracelet and flip-lock clasp. Whether you’re buying it as your first Submariner or adding to a growing Rolex collection, this 16610 strikes a strong balance of wearability and collectability.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

The 16610 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a COSC-certified automatic movement featuring a quickset date function and hacking seconds. It beats at 28,800 vph and offers approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Built for reliability, the 3135 was Rolex's flagship workhorse for decades and remains a highly regarded calibre. Serviced 2025.
