Rolex 16610 Submariner Date SS Black Dial FULL SET

The Rolex 16610 Submariner Date Stainless Steel Black Dial represents a pivotal evolution in the lineage of the Submariner series, having been launched in 1988 and produced until 2010. This reference marks the final era of the aluminum bezel Submariners and is powered by the self-winding caliber 3135—an enduring movement known for its reliability and precision that sets a benchmark for modern dive watches. The 40mm stainless steel case, distinguished by its robust Oyster construction and iconic black dial with luminous hour markers, offers a blend of durability and timeless elegance that appeals to both new and seasoned collectors. The unidirectional bezel and screw-down crown with Triplock system reinforce its professional dive watch credentials with a depth rating of 300 meters. Collectors particularly appreciate the 16610 for its transitional features—retaining classic Submariner aesthetics while introducing incremental technical improvements. Its pedigree within the Submariner lineage, everyday versatility, and discontinued status have elevated its desirability in the secondary market. The 16610’s legacy as a reference point for modern Rolex design and technology positions it as an essential acquisition for those seeking a piece of contemporary horological history. Whether as a collection cornerstone or a daily companion, the 16610 stands as a testament to Rolex’s enduring design ethos and engineering excellence. Excellent condition with Rolex box and papers dated 1995.
