Rolex Submariner Date 16610 Stainless Steel Black Dial (2006)

The Rolex Submariner Date 16610 is one of the most important modern-era Submariners, representing the reference that defined the model for an entire generation. Produced for decades and discontinued in 2010, it bridges vintage proportions with modern reliability, making it a cornerstone piece for collectors who want classic Submariner DNA without the fragility or pricing of earlier references. Its 40mm stainless steel case and black dial deliver the clean, purposeful look that made the Submariner the benchmark dive watch.

The black dial is paired with a matching black bezel, featuring the familiar date window at 3 o’clock that distinguishes it from the no-date version. The aluminum bezel insert and slimmer case profile give the 16610 a lighter, more traditional feel on the wrist compared to newer ceramic models. Versatile, recognizable, and deeply rooted in Rolex history, the 16610 remains one of the most wearable and collectible Submariners ever produced.
