The Rolex Submariner Date 126610LV pairs a striking green Cerachrom bezel with a classic black dial, a combination that’s earned it the collector nickname “Starbucks” for its resemblance to the coffee chain’s logo. Introduced in 2020 as the successor to the “Hulk,” this reference carries forward the Submariner’s green-bezel lineage first started by the 2003 “Kermit,” while bringing the model firmly into Rolex’s modern era.

The 41mm Oystersteel case is built from corrosion-resistant 904L steel and fitted with a unidirectional rotatable bezel, its green Cerachrom ceramic insert offering excellent scratch and fade resistance along with a 60-minute graduated scale for tracking elapsed dive time. The bezel’s markings are coated in platinum for lasting definition against the ceramic. On the dial, the Maxi Dial layout brings oversized applied hour markers and Mercedes-style hands, filled with Chromalight for a long-lasting blue glow in low light, while the date window at 3 o’clock sits under the signature Cyclops lens.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3235, a Manufacture movement featuring the Chronergy escapement for improved efficiency, a blue Parachrom hairspring resistant to shocks and magnetic fields, and an approximate 70-hour power reserve — a notable step up from earlier Submariner generations. The case is finished with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-down Triplock crown, contributing to the watch’s 300-metre water resistance rating and genuine professional dive-watch credentials.

The 126610LV is fitted to Rolex’s three-link Oyster bracelet, featuring solid end links and the Oysterlock safety clasp with Rolex’s Glidelock extension system, allowing tool-free micro-adjustments in 2mm increments — useful for fitting the watch over a wetsuit sleeve or simply fine-tuning everyday comfort.

Recognisable at a glance and backed by genuine dive-watch performance, the Submariner Date “Starbucks” 126610LV remains one of the most in-demand green-bezel Rolex references among collectors and first-time buyers alike.
