Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV 'Kermit' Bezel Flat 4 Stainless Steel Black Dial Oyster (2003)

The Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV “Kermit” is a highly sought-after and iconic timepiece that commemorates the Submariner’s 50th anniversary. Crafted in stainless steel, it features the classic 40mm Oyster case paired with a vibrant green aluminum bezel insert, a signature design element that gives this model its “Kermit” nickname. This early production variant, known as the “Flat 4” due to the shape of the numeral 4 on the bezel insert, is particularly coveted by collectors.

The black dial, with its Maxi-style hour markers and hands, offers excellent legibility and a subtle contrast to the bold green bezel. Powered by Rolex’s automatic Caliber 3135, the 16610LV delivers reliable performance and features the Submariner’s hallmark 300-meter water resistance. The classic Oyster bracelet, with its brushed and polished links, completes the watch’s timeless and robust aesthetic. With its limited production run and distinctive design, the “Kermit” has become one of the most celebrated modern Submariner references, representing a unique blend of Rolex heritage and innovation.
