The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN is widely regarded as one of the most important modern Rolex sports watches.

This outstanding 2019 example features a 40mm Oystersteel case, black dial with luminous hour markers, black Cerachrom ceramic rotating bezel, Oyster bracelet with Rolex Glidelock extension system, date display with Cyclops lens, and Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement.
Supplied with the original Rolex box, warranty card, booklets, and documentation, this Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN is a superb option for collectors searching for a Rolex Submariner 116610LN for sale.
Buyers comparing modern and discontinued Submariner models can review our Rolex Submariner buying guide for a deeper look at references, case sizes, bezels, movements, Date vs No-Date models, and collector considerations.
Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN Overview
The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN offers the perfect balance of modern technology and traditional Submariner design. It belongs to the ceramic-bezel Submariner generation and preserves the classic 40mm case size that many collectors still prefer.
The black dial and black bezel combination makes this reference one of the most versatile Rolex sports watches ever produced. It can be worn casually, professionally, while traveling, near water, or as part of a serious Rolex collection.
The 116610LN is also important because it represents the last production era before the 41mm Submariner Date 126610LN arrived. For many collectors, that gives the 116610LN a special place in the modern Submariner lineage.
Collectors researching important models can also explore our guide to the best Rolex Submariner references.
Black Dial with Chromalight Display
The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN features a deep black dial with luminous baton, round, and triangular hour markers. This layout is one of the reasons the Submariner is so respected as a professional dive watch: it is bold, balanced, and easy to read at a glance.
The Chromalight display provides a long-lasting blue glow, helping the watch remain legible in dark environments and underwater conditions. The hands and hour markers are designed for immediate readability, which is essential for both diving and daily wear.
The date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by Rolex’s Cyclops lens, adding practical everyday functionality while preserving the familiar Submariner Date appearance.
Black Cerachrom Ceramic Bezel
The black Cerachrom ceramic bezel is one of the defining features of the Rolex Submariner 116610LN. Compared with earlier aluminum-bezel Submariner references, the ceramic insert offers improved resistance to scratches, fading, corrosion, and long-term wear.
The bezel is unidirectional and graduated for 60 minutes, allowing divers to track immersion time accurately. Its one-way rotation is an important safety feature because accidental movement can only shorten the indicated dive time rather than extend it.
The bezel numerals and graduations are platinum-coated, giving the watch a refined finish while maintaining the practical function of a professional dive bezel.
For more background on the Submariner’s heritage and global recognition, read our article on why the Rolex Submariner is the world’s most famous dive watch.
40mm Oystersteel Case
The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from stainless steel. The case offers durability, corrosion resistance, and a classic modern Submariner wrist presence.
The 40mm size is one of the main reasons collectors continue to value this reference. It gives the watch a strong sports-watch feel without moving into the larger 41mm profile of the current-generation Submariner Date.
The watch offers 300 meters / 1,000 feet of water resistance when properly maintained and secured, making it suitable for professional diving use as well as everyday water exposure.
Submariner Date Function
The Rolex Submariner 116610LN is a Submariner Date model, meaning it includes a date window at 3 o’clock with Rolex’s Cyclops magnification lens. This makes the watch more practical for daily wear, business use, travel, and regular rotation.
Collectors often compare Submariner Date and No-Date models carefully. The No-Date Submariner offers a cleaner and more symmetrical dial, while the Submariner Date provides the added convenience of a date display.
For buyers deciding between both styles, our Submariner Date vs No-Date guide explains the key differences in design, function, wrist appeal, and collector preference.
Oyster Bracelet with Rolex Glidelock
The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN is fitted with the stainless steel Oyster bracelet, one of Rolex’s most durable and recognizable bracelet designs. Its solid-link construction gives the watch a secure, sporty, and comfortable feel on the wrist.
The bracelet includes the Oysterlock safety clasp and Rolex Glidelock extension system. Glidelock allows precise bracelet adjustment without tools, improving daily comfort and supporting use over a diving suit.
This bracelet is one of the reasons the 116610LN works so well as an everyday luxury sports watch. It is robust, secure, practical, and comfortable enough for regular wear.
Rolex Calibre 3135 Automatic Movement
Powering the Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN is the Rolex Calibre 3135, one of Rolex’s most respected automatic movements. Known for reliability, durability, and long service history, the Calibre 3135 helped define the Submariner Date for many years.
The movement offers approximately 48 hours of power reserve and powers the center hour, minute, and seconds hands, along with the instantaneous date and stop-seconds function for precise time setting.
While the newer 126610LN uses Calibre 3235, the 116610LN remains highly respected because of the proven reputation and long-standing importance of Calibre 3135 within Rolex’s professional watch lineup.

Why the Rolex Submariner 116610LN Is Highly Collectible
The Rolex Submariner 116610LN is highly collectible because it represents the final generation of the classic 40mm black ceramic Submariner Date. It combines modern ceramic-bezel durability with a case size and wrist profile that many collectors still consider ideal.
Collectors value this reference for its black Cerachrom bezel, black dial, Oyster bracelet with Glidelock, Calibre 3135 movement, and discontinued status. It feels modern, but it still preserves the 40mm proportions associated with earlier Submariner generations.
The 116610LN is also one of the most recognizable luxury sports watches in the world. Its black dial and black bezel combination make it suitable for nearly every setting, from casual wear to business travel to long-term collecting.
116610LN vs 126610LN
The Rolex Submariner 116610LN and 126610LN are closely related, but they appeal to slightly different buyers. The 116610LN uses the classic 40mm ceramic Submariner Date case and Rolex Calibre 3135 movement, while the newer 126610LN uses a 41mm case and Calibre 3235 movement.
Collectors who prefer the final 40mm black ceramic Submariner Date often gravitate toward the 116610LN. Buyers who want the newest movement generation and updated proportions may prefer the 126610LN.
Both references are important, but the 116610LN holds a special place because it represents the final chapter of the 40mm ceramic Submariner Date era.
Investment Insight
The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN has strong collector recognition because it combines iconic Submariner design with the final 40mm black ceramic Submariner Date generation. Its discontinued status, classic proportions, black Cerachrom bezel, and full-set presentation all add to its appeal.
Complete-set examples in outstanding condition are especially attractive because condition, originality, documentation, and accessories all influence desirability in the Rolex market.
However, no luxury watch has guaranteed future value. Long-term resale performance depends on condition, completeness, purchase price, warranty status, market demand, production details, reference desirability, and broader collector interest.
For a broader ownership perspective, read our guide on whether the Rolex Submariner is still worth buying.
Is the Rolex Submariner 116610LN a Good Everyday Watch?
Yes, the Rolex Submariner 116610LN is an excellent everyday luxury watch. It is durable, waterproof, legible, comfortable, and highly versatile.
The 40mm stainless steel case, 300m water resistance, automatic Calibre 3135 movement, date function, black dial, black ceramic bezel, Oyster bracelet, and Glidelock clasp make it practical for regular wear.
The black dial and black bezel also make the 116610LN one of the easiest Rolex sports watches to style. It works well with casual outfits, travel wardrobes, business-casual clothing, and weekend wear.
Condition and Complete Set
This Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN is offered in outstanding 2019 condition and is supplied with the original Rolex box, warranty card, booklets, and documentation.
For a collectible modern Submariner, condition and completeness are especially important. A clean full-set example with original accessories is generally more desirable than an incomplete or heavily worn example.
This 2019 reference is especially appealing for buyers tracking Rolex Submariner 116610LN price, discontinued 40mm ceramic Submariner demand, and full-set collector availability.
