Rolex Submariner “Hulk”

Why we love the Rolex Hulk

The Rolex Submariner 116610LV, universally known as the “Hulk,” is one of the most distinctive and celebrated modern Rolex sports watches ever produced. Introduced in 2010, it marked a significant evolution in the Submariner collection by replacing the earlier green-bezel “Kermit” and introducing a fully green colourway for the first time. The combination of a rich green sunburst dial and a matching green Cerachrom bezel gave the watch its iconic nickname — inspired by its bold colour, strength, and unmistakable wrist presence.

Crafted from Rolex’s proprietary Oystersteel, the 40 mm case delivers the robustness expected of a professional dive watch, while maintaining excellent balance and comfort on the wrist. The green ceramic bezel is a standout feature in its own right: highly resistant to scratches, fading, and corrosion, it retains its glossy finish and deep colour even with regular wear. Paired with the solid Oyster bracelet and Glidelock clasp, the Hulk is as practical as it is striking, allowing for easy adjustment and everyday versatility.

We love the Rolex Hulk for its confidence and character. The sunburst dial transforms in changing light — shifting from deep forest green to vibrant emerald — giving the watch remarkable depth and personality. Discontinued in 2020 after a decade-long production run, the Hulk has since achieved modern-icon status, with growing demand from collectors worldwide. It represents a perfect balance of usability, bold design, and long-term desirability — a Rolex that feels just as relevant on the wrist today as it does as part of a serious collection.
