The green bezel Rolex Submariner has earned cult status over the years—not just for its bold color, but for what each model represents. In this post, we’re comparing two of the most iconic variants ever made:

• The Submariner Date 16610LV "Kermit" (introduced for Rolex’s 50th anniversary in 2003)

• The modern Submariner Date 126610LV "Starbucks" (launched in 2020 with a redesigned case and updated movement)

If you're considering adding one of these legends to your collection, here's everything you need to know.

When people think of striking watches with mechanical chimes, they usually imagine six-figure haute horology brands. But Christopher Ward flipped that notion in 2023 with the C1 Bel Canto, offering a true Sonnerie au Passage complication—at a price point no one saw coming.

Now, in 2024, they’ve returned with the C1 Bel Canto Nero: a sleek black-dial version of the award-winning chimer that looks every bit as premium as it sounds.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of its legendary dive watch, Blancpain released a trio of special editions—each more distinctive than the last. But Act 3, inspired by the iconic MIL-SPEC model, stands out as the most authentic tribute to the brand’s military roots.

Limited to just 555 pieces worldwide, this Fifty Fathoms isn’t just a watch—it’s a heritage revival done right.

The Omega Speedmaster has long been one of the most iconic watches in horology—earning its place on the moon, and on the wrists of collectors worldwide. But in 2025, two modern references stand out for their craftsmanship, heritage, and collector appeal:

• The Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch White

• The Speedmaster “Ed White” Caliber 321

If you’re considering one of these exceptional pieces, this guide breaks down how they compare—and which is right for your wrist and collection.
