Unidirectional Rotatable Bezel

The use of unidirectional rotatable bezel is the main feature of the Submariner watches. Its gradual scale allows the diver to read the time accurately. And the bezel can only rotate counterclockwise, so it can help to avoid overestimating dive time. Furthermore, the luminescent marks on the bezel make it easy to read the time, even in poor visibility conditions.

The Oyster Case

The back of the oyster case proves an environment that protects the movement from pressure, shocks, water, dust and any other damage. Only with a massive torque of five newton meters can the case back be opened.

The Ceramic Bezel

The Submariner-Date’s 40 mm case is graced with a ceramic bezel with a blue, black or green Cerachrom insert. And the bezel is forged by an extremely hard ceramic material that has an excellent corrosion resistance. What’s more, there are numerals and graduations in yellow gold or platinum on the bezel. And the color remains unaffected by ultraviolet ray.

The Triplock Winding Crown

The triplock is made with 10 different elements created from the most reliable materials. The Submariner, with this triple-seal system, is waterproof to a depth of 300 meters.

This is a wonderful addition to the Rolex Oyster Perpetuals which came out in the year of 2010. The Submariner Date watch, rendered in stainless steel, has a great successor – the Submariner Date watch, ref.116610. Compared to the previous model, this timepiece underwent a major innovation. While remaining true to its time-honored values, Rolex company created an ultra-modern interpretation of the world-renowned Submariner with luxury factor brought to the very forefront.

This Submariner Date watch is equipped with an imposing 40 mm case. Yet, it outlines a squarer profile, called Supercase by lots of Rolex fans. This model also features thicker lugs representing an equivalent to those of the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II model.
The new Rolex watch is definitely eye-catching due to the considerable changes done to the acclaimed graduated unidirectional bezel of Submariner. Retaining the gleam of the knurled edge and serrated functionality, it has excluded the anodized black aluminum insert.
This novel watch is framed by a glossy Cerachrom bezel, crafted from exclusive ceramic material. The bezel is impervious to UV damage and saltwater corrosion, as well as remarkably scratch-resistant.
The dial is completed with enlarged hands and hour markers, designed in "Maxi" style. These components are treated with Chromalight luminous compound, rather than standard Superluminova coating. The Chromalight material stands itself out with a unique blue glow with much higher visibility under water. It assures the water-resistance down to 300 meters.

Similar to the watch case, this Oyster bracelet is sculptured in 904L stainless steel. The brushed center links are quite solid. This construction does make the watch really comfortable to wear. The bracelet terminates in a folding clasp. Furthermore, it has a clever and rather accurate Glidelock extension device with a ratchet.
Then the engine running the timepiece is the Rolex’s proprietary self-winding Caliber 3135 movement. The mechanism incorporates a centrally mounted rotor and adjustable balance bridge. Although the movement is the same as that of the previous Submariner models, it has been improved technically. For the hairspring with the Breguet terminal curve, craftsmen used the exclusive shock and magnetism-resistant Parachrom material. The movement provides a power reserve of 50 hours.
If you like it, but hesitating over the high price, there are better choices for you – the top quality replica Rolex Submariner Date 116610 watches!
