Description
The Rolex “Double Red” Sea-Dweller is an iconic watch, which, of course, is all about the dial. The Double Red was the first commercially available Sea-Dweller until the watch was offered some years later with the all-white print dial.
The original stainless steel case measures 40mm diameter by 16.8mm thick. The crystal is highly domed plastic. The massive screw down Triplock crown is operating perfectly. The original bezel insert has faded to grey. Original bezel rotates with the perfect amount of resistance. Overall case condition is very good. Bracelet is Oyster reference 93150, clean with no stretch. Serial number 3742XXX is engraved on the inside of the case back and on the case.
Original movement is the automatic 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. In my opinion, the Rolex Caliber 15XX movements are the best serially produced movements by any manufacture, ever. These movements are known to keep chronometer accuracy time for decades without so much as a service.
Original untouched dial is the aforementioned Mark IV Double Red dial. 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. Classic, desirable, rare and valuable… and beautiful!
