Rolex Submariner "Kermit" Reference #: 16610LV

The Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV features a 40mm diameter case crafted from 904L stainless steel (Oystersteel).  It has a thickness of approximately 12.5mm to 12.8mm and a lug-to-lug distance of 47.6mm, with a 20mm lug width. The case includes a screw-down Triplock crown, a unidirectional rotating bezel with the iconic green aluminum insert, and a sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens over the date. Water resistance is rated to 300 meters (1,000 feet).  The watch weighs approximately 135–138 grams on the original Oyster bracelet with hollow center links and a stamped clasp.

The 16610LV is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement introduced in 1988.  Key technical specifications include:

• Jewels: 31

• Frequency: 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz)

• Power Reserve: Approximately 48 hours

• Functions: Central hours, minutes, seconds, and a date display at 3 o'clock with instant change and quickset correction. 

• Features: Hacking seconds (stops when crown is pulled out) and bidirectional rotor winding via red reversing wheels. 

• Hairspring: Early models utilize a Nivarox hairspring, while later production (circa 2008 onwards, typically M-serial) incorporates the paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for enhanced shock and magnetic resistance.
