The brand's corporate color, green, had never before been used on a stainless steel Submariner. This bold choice, nicknamed the 'Kermit' by collectors, signaled a new willingness to experiment with color on professional models. It also introduced the \"Maxi\" dial to the Submariner line, featuring larger hands and hour markers for increased legibility, making the 'Kermit' a key transitional reference.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Strong D-Serial Example\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis 2005 D-serial places it firmly in the early period of the 'Kermit's' seven-year production run. It possesses all the traits that made the five-digit Submariners legendary: the classic 40mm case proportions, reliable automatic movement, and a durable Oyster bracelet. The green aluminum bezel provides a distinct visual identity that separates it from the standard black Submariner, marking it as a piece of Rolex history without sacrificing any of the model's foundational utility.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eExcellent Case, Perfect Dial\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in very good condition, particularly for its age.
