The reference 16610 arrived in 1988 and represents the fourth iteration of Rolex’s stainless steel date-displaying dive watch. Sapphire crystals and 300-meter depth ratings arrived with the second generation, while the short-lived third version of the Submariner Date (the reference 168000) was virtually identical to its predecessor (the reference 16800) except for the fact that the type of steel for the watch had been updated from the industry-standard 316L variety to the more corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel that Rolex uses today.
When the Rolex Submariner Date reference 16610 finally made an appearance in the late 1980s, it looked virtually identical to the preceding model, but now featured a new movement (the Caliber 3135) that promised superior performance and stability. Benefitting from all of the various updates and innovations that had been introduced on the second and third iterations of the stainless steel Submariner Date, the reference 16610 would go on to define Rolex’s iconic dive watch collection, remaining in production for more than twenty years.
