Description
The Rolex “Double Red” Sea-Dweller is an iconic watch. Built to satisfy the professional needs of saturation divers, the Sea-Dweller evolved from the Submariner. The early production Sea-Dwellers had dials with SEA-DWELLER and SUBMARINER 2000 in red print. This dial is a so-called Mark 4 dial which is correct for the 3.11M serial number. Feast your eyes on this beauty! Dial is untouched and wonderful and the faded to grey “ghost” bezel insert is exquisite.
The original stainless steel case measures 40mm diameter by 16.8mm thick. The crystal is highly domed, thick plastic. The massive screw down Triplock crown is operating perfectly. The original bezel insert has faded to a very pleasing grey. The original bezel maintains its sharp edge, and rotates with the perfect amount of resistance. Overall case condition is very good with original bevels still discernible. Last 3 digits of the serial number are engraved on the inside surface of the case back along with date code of I72.
Original dial is the aforementioned Mark IV Double Red dial in mint untouched condition. Dial is black in color, with large luminous hour markers, with the famous red print for “SEA-DWELLER” and “SUBMARINER 2000”, and date window at 3 o’clock with original silver date wheel. Classic, desirable, rare and valuable… and beautiful!
Original movement is the automatically winding Rolex Caliber 1570 with 26 jewels, adjusted to 5 positions and temperature, and is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer. The movement is pristine and running strong. In my opinion, the Rolex Caliber 15XX movements are the best serially produced automatic movements by any manufacture, ever. These movements are known to keep chronometer accuracy time for decades without so much as a service.
Watch is on strap with steel Rolex buckle.
