The Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 from 1985 is a legendary dive watch built for extreme underwater exploration. As a direct descendant of the original Sea-Dweller, this model features a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case, ensuring durability and water resistance up to 1,220 meters (4,000 feet). Unlike the Submariner, it is equipped with a helium escape valve, allowing it to withstand saturation diving conditions. The black dial maintains a clean, legible design with luminous hour markers and Mercedes-style hands, ensuring visibility in low-light environments. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the unidirectional rotating bezel provides precise dive timing. Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3035 automatic movement, it offers quickset date functionality and robust timekeeping accuracy. Paired with an Oyster bracelet and Fliplock clasp, the 16600 Sea-Dweller remains a favorite among collectors for its blend of rugged utility and timeless Rolex craftsmanship.
