Rolex Submariner 41mm – DLC Black Case Green Ceramic Bezel Green Dial ‘Hulk’ Custom Black Oyster Bracelet
Rolex Submariner 41mm DLC ‘Hulk’ — The Green Legend. Blacked Out.
In Rolex collector culture, there are nicknames and there are nicknames. The ‘Hulk’ is the latter. When Rolex released the Submariner with a full green dial and green ceramic bezel in 2010, the community had a name for it within weeks — because there was only one thing it could be called. A watch this green, this bold, and this uncompromising could only be the Hulk. This DLC edition takes that already extreme configuration and pushes it further: the entire steel case and Oyster bracelet replaced with a black Diamond-Like Carbon coating that transforms the green into something sharper, darker, and significantly more rare.
DLC Black Case & Green Ceramic Bezel
- 41mm 904L Oystersteel case with full Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating — a physical vapour deposition process that bonds a near-diamond hardness layer to the steel surface, producing the matte black finish that sets this edition apart from any standard Submariner
- Green ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel — the full Submariner 60-minute dive scale in white Chromalight luminescent markings, identical in function to the standard Submariner but elevated by the surrounding black DLC frame that isolates the green as a single vivid element
- All external hardware in matching black DLC — crown, pushers, case back, bracelet centre links; the entire watch unified in a single black-and-green colour statement
- Screw-down Triplock crown for water resistance to 300 metres — the Submariner’s defining technical specification maintained in full through the DLC treatment
Green Dial — The ‘Hulk’ Signature
- Full green lacquer dial — the same vivid, saturated green that earned the original Ref. 116610LV its collector nickname; here framed by the black DLC case for a contrast that makes the green read more intensely than it does against steel
- Applied Chromalight circular and rectangular hour markers — glowing blue-white in darkness for up to eight hours; legible at 300 metres, at night, and in any condition the Submariner was designed to operate in
- Mercedes hands in matching steel — the Submariner’s iconic hand design, providing instant legibility against the green dial ground
- Date window at 3 o’clock with Cyclops magnifier — functional and correct to the Submariner Date specification
DLC Black Oyster Bracelet
- Full DLC-coated three-piece flat-link Oyster bracelet — the bracelet that transforms this from a dive watch into a wrist statement; every link in the same matte black as the case, creating a single continuous black-and-green form from lug to clasp
- Oysterlock safety clasp with Easylink 5mm comfort extension — the security of the standard Oyster system with the full DLC aesthetic maintained
- Available in 41mm standard and 41mm High Quality variants
Movement
- Rolex Calibre 3235 — self-winding, 70-hour power reserve
- Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers
- Superlative Chronometer certified: ±2 seconds per day
- Water resistant to 300 metres — full dive specification maintained
The standard Rolex Submariner ‘Hulk’ is already one of the most recognised and most desired watches in modern horology. This DLC black edition asks what happens when you take that watch and remove every concession to subtlety. The answer is on the wrist. Green on black. 300 metres. ±2 seconds. No compromises. The most extreme Submariner in the collection.
