Rolex introduced the Sea-Dweller for the first time in 1967 to cater for divers with prolonged underwater missions. It was developed in closer partnership with Comex (Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises), a French company specializing in engineering and deep diving operations.
It has always been a watch loved by collectors and diving enthusiasts for its over engineered and robust case with up to 1220m water resistance. The key difference with the Submariner is the addition of the Helium Escape Valve, a patented safety feature to release helium gas that enters the watch during saturation diving, preventing the crystal from popping off as the diver decompresses by automatically opening when internal pressure exceeds the external pressure, protecting the watch’s integrity.
The Deepsea brought the Sea Dweller to another level with an impressive water resistance of 12,800 feet / 3,900 meters. This is made possible by engineering marvel done by Rolex such as the 5mm thick sapphire crystal with the Ringlock system.
The watch itself is large at 44mm in diameter with 18mm thickness. It features a solid Oyster bracelet with Glidelock and Fliplock extension system to make it easy to put it on a wetsuit.
In 2012, to commemorate James Cameron’s expedition into the Mariana Trench, Rolex introduced the D-Blue dial with a blue to black gradient dial and a distinct “Deepsea” print in green. It is paired with a unidirectional rotating bezel with a black Cerachrom insert.
The Deepsea is powered by the Cal. 3235 Automatic movement with 70 hour power reserve.
