This replica captures the BLAKEN customization of the Rolex Submariner 116610, version 9. BLAKEN is a German aftermarket modifier that applies proprietary DLC and PVD coatings to Rolex sport watches, producing blacked-out editions that are far more visually aggressive than standard production models. The v.9 variant pairs an ion-plated Oystersteel case with a vivid green dial and matching ceramic bezel — a military-inspired combination with strong wrist presence.

The 116610 BLAKEN Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The ion plating across the 40mm case, bracelet, and clasp shifts the standard Submariner aesthetic from tool-watch silver to a darker, stealth-oriented look. Against that darkened canvas the green dial and green ceramic bezel pop with visible intensity. Luminous markers on the dial and bezel pip at 12 o’clock ensure readability in low-light environments.
Crown guards flank the screw-down winding crown, and the Glidelock extension in the clasp allows micro-adjustment without tools. The Oyster bracelet alternates brushed outer links with polished center links, maintaining the classic Submariner profile even in its modified finish.

Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two automatic movements are available, each suited to a different use case:
- Swiss Automatic — 28,800 vph with roughly 48 hours of power reserve. Higher frequency means a smoother sweep second hand. The decorated rotor and finer regulation appeal to wearers who want the closest mechanical feel to the genuine caliber.
- Japanese Miyota Automatic — 21,600 vph producing approximately 42 hours of reserve. Widely serviced across the globe, this caliber thrives in everyday conditions and shrugs off minor impacts. Best if the watch will be your regular daily driver.
The date complication with quickset operates identically on either caliber.
