In 2010, Rolex did something it had not done to the steel Submariner in decades: it changed the bezel material. The 116610LN became the first steel Submariner Date with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, replacing the aluminum insert that had served every steel Submariner since the 1950s. That single change, more than any other detail in the specification, defines what the 116610LN is and why collectors treat it as a generational break.
