The present Submariner reference 116610LN is one of the rare examples of the model made for the Sultanate of Oman to appear in public, its case back featuring the “Khanjar” symbol. Complete with all its accessories it is furthermore preserved in new old stock condition, still retaining the protective stickers to case back and clasp.
Reference 116610LN was launched in 2010 together with its green bezel counterpart. It is the successor of celebrated Submariner Date reference 16610. The most apparent difference between the two models is the ceramic insert in the bezel, while before it was a simple metal insert. This new material, called "Cerachrom" by Rolex, was developed to improve the scratch resistance of the previous metal inserts.
