Will Ferrell sports the Rolex Submariner's 50th Anniversary
model -- the Kermit, with a vibrant green hue.
Named after the famous Muppet character,
this watch features an aluminum green bezel insert, alongside a black dial.
Aside from being an anniversary model, the Kermit is notable for being the
first Submariner to feature a modern Maxi dial. One with larger markers,
and hour and minute hands -- giving a clear, highly visible reading in most environments.

Together with the orange lightning bolt-shaped hand, and index minute markers,

It's not all looks though, as the Milgauss (mil-gaws) features
an impressive anti-magnetism of up to 1,000 gauss (gaws).
