The Submariner collection, all of whose variations have Oyster bracelets, lays claim to the second-most nicknames in the Rolex world. The Hulk, officially called the Oyster Submariner Date, got its sobriquet because the green of its dial and Cerachrom bezel matches the hue of the Marvel comic superhero’s skin.
The bulked-up Hulk is the alter ego of Dr. Bruce Banner who, because of exposure to gamma rays, transforms into a raging savage to battle villains. Produced from 2010 to 2020, the Hulk was the successor to the Kermit, a Submariner with a black dial and green aluminum bezel produced from 2003 to 2010. The Hulk and the Kermit, which both have reference numbers ending in LV, for lunette verte, are rare because of their short production spans.
