Rolex Sea-Dweller with Red “Sea-Dweller” 126600

Descrizione

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 with the iconic red “Sea-Dweller” lettering is a legendary dive watch that seamlessly blends heritage with modern innovation. First introduced in 1967 as a professional diving instrument, the Sea-Dweller has evolved into a symbol of Rolex’s commitment to excellence in deep-sea exploration. The 126600, released in 2017 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Sea-Dweller, pays homage to its roots while incorporating cutting-edge technology.

The most striking feature of the Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 is the red “Sea-Dweller” text on the dial, a nod to the first model from the 1960s. This subtle yet powerful detail is a tribute to the watch’s legacy, making it instantly recognizable to collectors and enthusiasts alike. The 43mm Oystersteel case, crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 904L stainless steel, is both robust and corrosion-resistant, designed to withstand the rigors of deep-sea diving. The case is equipped with a helium escape valve, a feature that has made the Sea-Dweller a favorite among professional divers, allowing the watch to endure the extreme pressures of depths up to 1,220 meters (4,000 feet).

The Cerachrom bezel insert in black ceramic is virtually scratchproof and features numerals and graduations coated in platinum, offering superior legibility even in the darkest conditions. The dial, with its Chromalight display, provides a long-lasting blue luminescence, ensuring that the time is easily readable in any environment.

Powering the Sea-Dweller 126600 is the Rolex Calibre 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement that represents the pinnacle of Rolex’s watchmaking expertise. With a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day, the Calibre 3235 ensures reliable performance under the most challenging conditions.
