The 16610 is the standard Submariner of its era, the reference most people picture when they say "Submariner." It entered production around 1988, replacing the short-lived 168000, itself a late update of the 16800, and ran until 2010 when the ceramic-bezel 116610LN took over. That is roughly 23 years on a single reference number. No other Submariner Date reference comes close. The 16800 lasted about eight years, the 116610LN ten. The 16610 ran for more than two decades while the rest of the Rolex sports line moved around it, picking up a long sequence of small specification changes that repay careful inspection. | The 16610 is the standard Submariner of its era, the reference most people picture when they say "Submariner."
