The Submariner reference 116619LB earned the collector nickname “Smurf” for its striking blue-on-blue combination in a stainless steel case. While the genuine model used white gold, this steel-cased replica delivers the same visual punch: a vivid blue dial set beneath a matching blue Cerachrom bezel. It remains one of the most visually distinctive Submariner references ever produced.

The 116619LB Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The vivid blue sunburst dial radiates depth and dimension, shifting from medium blue to deep navy depending on the angle. Applied white gold-style hour markers carry luminescent fill for underwater readability, and the Mercedes-style hands match. A date window at three o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens.
The 40mm Oystersteel case features a blue Cerachrom unidirectional bezel with a 60-minute graduated scale and luminescent pip. The three-piece link Oyster bracelet is secured by an Oysterlock clasp with Glidelock micro-extension. Browse the full dive-watch range in the Submariner collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two automatic movements are available for this Submariner:
- Swiss Automatic — higher beat rate, longer power reserve, and precision regulation for demanding daily wear. The top-tier option for this collector favourite.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — proven 21,600 vph caliber with roughly 40-hour reserve. Serviceable globally and reliable for everyday wrist time.
Both feature automatic winding, hacking seconds, and quickset date.
