Rolex first released the Submariner Date ref. 116610 in 2010, and the reference stayed in production for 10 years before being superseded in 2020. The watch was the direct successor to the ref. 16610 and is the first Submariner to feature a ceramic bezel made of Rolex's proprietary Cerachrom. In addition to the new ceramic bezel, the manufacturer gave the 116610 a number of other updates, including an overhaul of its Oyster case. While the watch kept its previous diameter of 40 mm, it was given significantly larger lugs, a wider bezel, and a bigger crown protector. The reworked look earned the new case the nickname Maxi Case. Like its predecessor, the new model is water-resistant to 300 m (30 bar, 984 ft) and the case and bracelet are made of Rolex's corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel, a.k.a. Oystersteel.
This is especially true of the dial, which remained essentially unchanged from the previous model; only the larger indices and hands on the Maxi Dial give away its status as a modern Submariner.
The Submariner Date 116610's Oyster bracelet is also notable. Just like the bracelets on later editions of the 16610, the new bracelet features solid end links, which offer a perfect fit between the lugs and bracelet. The Glidelock clasp also comes with a mechanism introduced in 2010 that allows the wearer to gradually adjust the bracelet length in 2-mm increments up to 20 mm without any tools. This is ideal for hot summer days.
This example, dating to 2020, is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition and is offered as a full-set comprising of it's original inner and outer box-set, Submariner Date manual, and wallet containing Rolex guarantee manual and original stamped warranty card.
