In 2010, the 116610LN became the first steel Submariner Date with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, replacing the aluminum that had served every steel Submariner since the 1950s. Cerachrom is Rolex's proprietary ceramic, scratch- and fade-resistant and effectively UV-stable. The precious-metal 116619LB in white gold had introduced the material to the line two years earlier, but the 116610LN was the volume rollout, and for most buyers this reference was their first encounter with a ceramic-bezel Sub. | In 2010, the 116610LN became the first steel Submariner Date with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, replacing the aluminum that had served every steel Submariner since the 1950s.
