Rolex Submariner Date 126610LV 'Starbucks MK1' Stainless Steel Black Dial (2021)

This Rolex Date ref. 126610LV “Starbucks MK1” represents one of the most talked-about modern Submariners thanks to its striking green Cerachrom bezel paired with a black dial—a contrast that sparked its “Starbucks” nickname among collectors. Beneath its 41 mm stainless steel case sits Rolex’s classic diver architecture: robust 300 m water resistance, a unidirectional bezel, and the esteemed glidelock clasp with micro-adjust capability. The black dial maintains legibility with bold luminous markers and Mercedes hands, while the date window under the cyclops lens retains the Submariner’s practical identity.

What sets the MK1 apart is subtle variation in bezel color tone, dial print weight, and early iteration finishes—traits recognized by seasoned collectors as emblematic of the initial run within the 126610LV production.
