Sell it with usThe ref. 16600 represents the final chapter for the classic ‘five-digit’ Sea-Dwellers and strikes the perfect balance between modern construction and vintage design cues.
The Sea-Dweller encapsulates the hardcore dive watch, with a 40mm stainless steel case that’s equipped with a mammoth 4,000-feet of waterproofness, thanks to the trip-lock crown and helium escape valve. The uni-directional timing bezel has an aluminium insert; the last time Rolex would use this on a Sea-Dweller before switching to ceramic. For collectors who aren’t partial to the cyclops date magnifier, this generation of Sea-Dweller does without, which is unique amongst Rolex sports watches with a date. The black dial features applied markers and hands made from 18K white gold and filled with Super-LumiNova for supreme legibility. The watch is secured to the wrist by a satin-finished Oyster bracelet with an Oysterlock clasp and diver’s extension. Powering the ref. 16600 is the tried and tested calibre 3135, which has a 48-hour power reserve and is chronometer-certified.
