Rolex Submariner 16610 | HODINKEE Spec Sheet | What You Need To Know

Welcome to The Spec Sheet, where we use digestible, 60-second clips to showcase everything you need to know about a particular watch. The Spec Sheet hits all the details: Case size, wrist feel, thickness, movement, reference number, and (yes!) lug-to-lug dimensions. It's the next-best thing to having the watch in your own hands. The Rolex Submariner reference 16610 (along with the reference 16800) is the bridge between two eras of Rolex. Introduced in 1987, it's part vintage, part modern. One of the Crown's first "five-digit" references – that is, models with five-digit reference numbers instead of the four it used throughout its vintage years – this Submariner is the brand's first effort to take the classic dive watch and turn it into an item of luxury.
