The Rolex Submariner 116610LV, widely known as the “Hulk,” is one of the most iconic modern Submariners ever produced. With its green dial and matching green ceramic bezel, it stands out immediately while still staying true to the Submariner DNA.
Because the Hulk already has such a strong presence, choosing the right strap can either amplify its character or tone it down for daily wear. A well-fitted rubber strap enhances comfort, highlights the green colorway, and allows you to preserve the original Oyster bracelet in excellent condition.
This guide explains the correct fit and the most popular Helvetus rubber strap options for the Rolex Submariner 116610LV.
Rolex Submariner 116610LV Strap Fit and Model Selection
The Rolex Submariner 116610LV uses the previous-generation 40mm Submariner case, which is different from the newer 41mm models.
When ordering a strap on our product page, it is essential to select “Submariner 40mm” as the model option. This ensures the strap is shaped correctly for the case.
Helvetus straps for this reference offer:
- Curved ends designed specifically for the 40mm Submariner case
- A clean, gap-free fit against the case
- Availability in pin buckle and deployant versions
Selecting the wrong Submariner size may result in an incorrect fit, so please make sure Submariner 40mm is selected before adding the strap to your cart.
Many Submariner owners rotate straps to protect the original Oyster bracelet, especially when the watch is worn frequently.
Why Rubber Straps Are Ideal for the Hulk
The Submariner was designed as a professional dive watch, and rubber straps suit that purpose perfectly. On the 116610LV in particular, rubber straps:
- Complement the green dial and bezel
- Improve comfort for daily and active wear
- Make the watch feel lighter on the wrist
- Offer a fresh look without altering the watch itself
Helvetus offers a wide selection of rubber straps made specifically for Rolex Submariner models, including the 116610LV.
