This celebrated reference marked a bold departure from tradition, featuring a striking green aluminum bezel insert and introducing the now-standard \"Maxi dial\" configuration with broader luminous markers and hands. Powered by the robust Caliber 3135 automatic movement and housed in a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case, the 16610LV offers 300 meters of water resistance and the signature date magnifier at 3 o'clock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollectability \u0026amp; Market Perception\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eProduced until 2010, the Kermit stands out as the first Submariner to incorporate a colored bezel, bridging vintage and modern design eras. Initially met with mixed reactions, it has since become one of the most sought-after neo-vintage Submariners, especially early \"Flat 4\" bezel variants. With values steadily appreciating and its status as a transitional and anniversary model, the 16610LV Kermit is considered a must-have for any serious Rolex collection, prized for its rarity, investment potential, and enduring appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51241325723926,"sku":"95502760","price":14450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/5481\/5510\/files\/1274323.jpg?v=1776969862","url":"https:\/\/oysterhunter.com\/products\/submariner-date-16610lv-50th-anniversary-kermit-steel-40mm-1","provider":"Oyster Hunter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
