Introduced in the late 1980s as the successor to the Submariner Date Ref. 16800, it remained in production until 2010, making it one of the longest-running Submariner references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ref. 16610 is particularly notable as the long-running Submariner Date that combined the 40mm Oyster case, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, aluminium bezel insert, and Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement, before eventually being replaced by the six-digit, ceramic-bezel Ref. 116610.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example is a 16610T, the later case variant distinguished by its lack of drilled lug holes.
