Rolex Sea-Dwller Deepsea 126660 with D-Blue Dial: A Timeless Tribute to Human Exploration

In February 2020, Rolex unveiled a new iteration of its iconic Sea-Dweller line - the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea 126660 with D-Blue dial. This extraordinary timepiece embodies the spirit of human exploration and pushes the boundaries of what's possible underwater.

The Birth of a Legend: The Sea-Dweller

In the early 1960s, Rolex revolutionized watchmaking by introducing the first-ever divers' watch designed to withstand extreme depths - the Submariner. A decade later, the brand took its expertise to new heights with the introduction of the Sea-Dweller, specifically engineered for deep-sea exploration.

The Deepsea Challenge: A New Frontier

In 2012, James Cameron embarked on an unprecedented journey to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the ocean. Accompanied by a Rolex Deepsea Challenger watch, he successfully reached a depth of over 35,787 feet (10,902 meters) - a feat that had never been achieved before.

The Sea-Dweller Deepsea: A Timepiece Fit for Exploration

Inspired by Cameron's incredible achievement, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea 126660 with D-Blue dial is designed to withstand even the most extreme underwater conditions. This exceptional timepiece features:

Water Resistance: Up to 3,900 meters (12,800 feet), making it one of the most resistant watches in the world.
Case Material: A robust Oystersteel case with a diameter of 51 mm and a thickness of 17.7 mm.
Crystal: A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides.
Movement: The automatic Calibre 3235, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing approximately 70 hours of power reserve.

The D-Blue Dial: A Unique Tribute

The Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea 126660 features a stunning D-Blue dial that gradually transitions from deep blue to black as it approaches the edge. This unique design element is inspired by the gradual transition between light and darkness at great depths, creating an otherworldly effect.
