Submariner Date

The Rolex Submariner Date, reference 16610, is one of the most iconic dive watches ever produced and a cornerstone of Rolex’s professional watch collection. This certified pre-owned example from 2002 is offered in good condition and comes with its full original set, including box, warranty papers, and documentation. The watch was originally sold by Bucherer in Zurich, adding a desirable element of provenance.

Crafted in stainless steel, the classic 40mm Oyster case offers the perfect balance between robustness and timeless proportions. The watch features the traditional black aluminum bezel insert with 60-minute graduations, a hallmark of the Submariner before the introduction of ceramic bezels.

The black dial is equipped with luminous hour markers and Mercedes-style hands, ensuring excellent readability in all conditions. The signature date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by the iconic Cyclops lens, a defining feature of the Submariner Date.

Powering the watch is the reliable Rolex Calibre 3135, one of the brand’s most respected automatic movements, known for its durability, precision, and ease of servicing. It offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours and has long been considered one of the most robust movements in modern watchmaking.

The watch is fitted with the classic Oyster bracelet, providing comfort, strength, and the unmistakable sporty aesthetic that defines the Submariner.

As a certified vintage Rolex, this Submariner Date 16610 from 2002 has been carefully authenticated and inspected. With its full set, its origin from Bucherer Zurich, and its enduring design, it represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly collectible Rolex sports watch with strong historical appeal.
