TM Factory enters the scene with a bold homage to one of the most iconic diver watches in history—the Rolex Submariner 16610. This launch isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about celebrating heritage, with vintage DNA and premium construction that sets a high standard from the very first release.
A Tribute to Timeless Tool Watch Aesthetics
With a 40mm case, the 16610 retains the perfect proportions of Rolex’s fourth-generation Submariner. The aluminum alloy bezel insert adds a nostalgic charm often missing from modern ceramic-heavy designs, and the sapphire crystal ensures scratch resistance while maintaining classic lines.
Precision-Built with Super 904L Steel
TM Factory isn’t cutting corners. This model is equipped with original AR-sourced 904L steel bracelets and cases, ensuring full compatibility with genuine Rolex components. Even the spring bars (end link connectors) are engineered to match OEM tolerances. The result? A fit and finish that blends seamlessly with the real thing.
Submariner DNA, Preserved and Honored
- Mercedes hands and “fish-eye” bezel teeth stay true to the classic Sub aesthetic
- Clean, straightforward design that reflects the utilitarian philosophy of early Submariners
- Tool-watch appeal meets modern upgrade precision
A Promising Start from TM Factory
This isn’t just a product—it’s a mission statement. TM’s debut proves they’re here to create enthusiast-grade watches with respect for history and commitment to craft. Their decision to buy a genuine 16610 for teardown and mold development speaks volumes about their approach: detail-first, shortcut-never.
