Rolex Sea-Dweller

Rolex Sea-Dweller

The Sea-Dweller is Rolex’s line of diver’s watches. It could withstand depths of up to 1,220 meters. Luxury watches are not built like that. It has thicker crystal and case to accommodate the helium escape valve for saturation diving. Other premium watches from Rolex have date magnification bubble that the Sea-Dweller doesn’t have.

Rolex Sea-Dweller is simple, built to last, and looks good, though it is designed mainly as a dive watch. Its crown has a triplock system that uses an additional rubber gasket for further safety underwater. With it the crown is securely in place. It features a quick-change and quick-set date. Quick-change means that the date will change as soon as it reaches midnight while quick-set means that you can immediately set the date when the crown is pulled out in the second position.Rolex Sea-Dweller
