SUMMARY

As Rolex’s most hardcore diver, the D-Blue takes on all of the Deepsea’s technical capabilities including the impressive 12,800 feet / 3,900 metres of waterproofness but introduces some aesthetic changes that set it apart from the standard model. These include a distinctive blue-to-black gradient face and “DEEPSEA” script that has been moved to the bottom half of the dial and coloured bright green to match Cameron’s submarine.
