RL Submariner Date “Starbucks” – Oystersteel – MK1 Bezel – Ref. 126610LV-0002

The RL Submariner Date Ref. 126610LV-0002, affectionately known as the “Starbucks” by collectors, is a modern interpretation of one of the world’s most iconic dive watches. Its bold green Cerachrom bezel (MK1 version) paired with a classic black dial merges RL’s heritage with cutting-edge innovation.

Crafted from corrosion-resistant Oystersteel, the 41 mm case exudes both strength and refinement. The unidirectional 60-minute rotating bezel in scratch-resistant green ceramic, with platinum-coated numerals, allows precise dive timing while elevating the watch’s luxury appeal. The Oyster bracelet ensures comfort and security, featuring the Glidelock extension system for effortless adjustment, even over a wetsuit.

Inside beats the RL Calibre 3235, an in-house automatic movement with a 70-hour power reserve, chronometric precision, and legendary durability. With Chromalight luminescence, Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers, this Submariner combines tool-watch reliability with modern sophistication.

The Submariner “Starbucks” is more than a dive watch — it’s a bold statement of RL’s enduring legacy, now sharper, stronger, and greener than ever.
