Nicknamed “Starbucks” for its green-and-black palette echoing the world’s most recognizable coffee logo, the current-production MK2 126610LV-0002 is the only steel Submariner with a green Cerachrom bezel. A serious-collection anchor, it bridges pop culture and horology as one of the most iconic and liquid steel Rolex watches you can own.
Presents itself in brand new condition with no signs of wear. Deep black lacquer dial, clean and unblemished, carries large Chromalight lume on every hour marker and all three hands, emitting a long-lasting blue glow in the dark. Green Cerachrom bezel is virtually scratchproof and UV-stable, its recessed graduations and numerals PVD-coated in platinum for crisp legibility. Oystersteel case pairs a satin-brushed top surface across the lugs with sharply contrasted mirror-polished sides, creating a dynamic gloss-and-matte interplay as the wrist moves.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and dive timing. A Triplock screw-down crown quick-sets the date at the first notch and sets the time in either direction at the second, stopping the seconds hand for precise synchronization. Unidirectional bezel tracks elapsed dive time counterclockwise, with triangle marker aligned to the minute hand at descent. Glidelock fine-adjustment on the Oyster bracelet extends up to 20mm in 2mm increments to fit comfortably over a diving suit. Rated to 300m, it’s a capable dive tool, and the Calibre 3235 delivers roughly 70 hours of power reserve to keep it running through extended wear without rewinding.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with NFC warranty card, card holder, Submariner instruction manual, warranty booklet, and Rolex green and white hang tags.
With the only green Cerachrom bezel in the current lineup, the “Starbucks” carries the lineage of the “Kermit” and “Hulk” forward to stand as the definitive green steel Submariner in Rolex’s catalog. For collectors seeking this celebrated, high-contrast aesthetic on a proven dive tool, this pristine example is the one to secure now.
