About the Rolex Submariner Date – Ref. 16610 (Stainless Steel / Black Tritium Dial / 40mm):

The Rolex Submariner ref. 16610 is one of the most iconic modern Rolex sports watches ever produced. Introduced in the late 1980s, it served as the cornerstone of the Submariner collection for more than two decades and represents the final generation of stainless steel Submariners to feature an aluminum bezel insert before Rolex transitioned to ceramic bezels.

This example from 1990 features a black tritium dial and handset, giving it the warm vintage character that collectors seek in early 16610 references. The watch is equipped with the robust Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement, a sapphire crystal, 300 meters of water resistance, and a unidirectional aluminum timing bezel. Combining modern reliability with vintage appeal, the ref. 16610 remains one of the most versatile and collectible Submariner references ever produced.
