ROLEX DEEP SEA SEA-DWELLER 116660 STEEL BOX & PAPERS

The Rolex Deep Sea Sea-Dweller is truly a beast, at 44mm diameter by 18mm thick. It is the evolution of everything that Rolex has learned after 60+ years of making professional diver’s watches, and it is spectacularly impressive “in the metal”. Let’s face it, this watch is all about its case, which provides water resistance to an astonishing 3900 meters (12,900 feet). The bezel clicks 120 times in a complete 360 degree rotation, and the bezel insert is ceramic, which Rolex calls “Cerachrome”. There is Rolex’s famous helium escape valve on the 9 o’clock case side, along with the beefy Triplock crown. The case back on a Deep Sea is made from titanium to try and keep the weight of this watch as manageable as possible. The dial is black with applied luminous hour markers and hands and date window at 3 o’clock. Movement is the Rolex automatic winding Caliber 3135 with 31 jewels, Parachrome Breguet balance spring, microstella regulating screws, and is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer. Bracelet is Rolex Oyster with the superior new clasp system. Watch is indiscernible from new with Rolex box and 2009 warranty card.
