Rolex Kermit

The Rolex Kermit, a celebrated variant of the Submariner, was introduced in 2003 to mark the 50th anniversary of this iconic dive watch. The Kermit stands out with its vibrant green aluminum bezel, a bold departure from the traditional black bezels that had been synonymous with the Submariner line. This unique color choice led to the watch being affectionately nicknamed “Kermit,” in reference to the famous green Muppet character.

The Rolex Kermit features a 40mm Oyster case, providing robustness and water resistance up to 300 meters (1,000 feet), making it suitable for professional diving. The green bezel is paired with a classic black dial, offering a striking contrast that enhances the watch’s legibility and visual appeal. The bezel itself is crafted from anodized aluminum, which was standard for the time, giving the Kermit a distinct look compared to the later ceramic bezels.

Powered by the Caliber 3135 movement, the Rolex Kermit boasts exceptional precision and reliability. This self-winding mechanical movement includes a Parachrom hairspring, which provides greater resistance to shocks and temperature variations, ensuring consistent performance. The Kermit’s blend of innovative design and robust functionality has made it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts. Discontinued in 2010, it remains highly sought after in the pre-owned market, cherished for its unique place in the history of the Submariner line.
