Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN 2019 [Preowned]
Overview
The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN marked a significant evolution in the Submariner lineage when it was introduced in 2009. It was the first Submariner to feature a Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert—a notable upgrade that brought exceptional scratch resistance and long-lasting color retention. The deep, glossy black bezel, paired with the matching black dial, gave the watch a sleek, modern presence while retaining the iconic look that had made the Submariner a benchmark in dive watches.
One of the most discussed features of the 116610LN is its "Super Case," which introduced broader lugs and crown guards, giving the watch a more robust and angular silhouette despite maintaining the traditional 40mm case diameter. This design offered more wrist presence and a bolder profile, which many appreciated for its commanding stance. It also signaled a shift in Rolex’s design language, leaning into more contemporary proportions without altering the core identity of the Submariner.
Functionally, the watch was a powerhouse. Equipped with the Calibre 3135, it delivered reliable performance and accuracy, as well as a 48-hour power reserve. The Oyster bracelet also saw upgrades, including the Glidelock clasp, allowing for micro-adjustments and ensuring a perfect fit, whether worn over a wetsuit or directly on the wrist. This practical feature enhanced both comfort and versatility, cementing the 116610LN’s status as a daily companion as well as a professional dive tool.
Discontinued in 2020 to make way for the slightly larger 41mm 126610LN, the 116610LN remains a sought-after reference for collectors and enthusiasts alike. It represents a pivotal point in the Submariner’s history—bridging vintage charm and modern innovation. With its ceramic bezel, Super Case, and solid feel, the 116610LN has become a modern classic, often praised for balancing rugged functionality with timeless Rolex design.
