Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller 16600 Steel Year 2003

Watch Details

Description

Introducing the highly coveted Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller. Unlike its equally famous sibling, the Submariner, this watch is renowned for its exceptional deep-diving capabilities, skillfully designed keeping professional divers in mind. Blurring the line between luxury and functionality, the acclaimed Sea-Dweller features a Helium Escape Valve. A noteworthy characteristic, this specialized mechanism proves to be a godsend for saturation divers as it allows for the escape of helium from the watch during decompression – thus protecting the timepiece from potential damage. Further enhancing the diving credentials of this illustrious watch is its staggering 4000 feet (approximately 1220 meters) water-resistance rating – a testament to its unparalleled engineering. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller effortlessly stands out with a unidirectional rotating bezel, adorned with a 60-minute graduated scale that enables accurate tracking of dive time and decompression stops. Further escalating its prominence in the Rolex lineage, the Sea-Dweller manifests a luminous dial and illuminated hands for optimum visibility, even in the murkiest depths of the oceans. Carrying the reference number 16600, this model is powered by the Caliber 3135 movement - widely acknowledged as one of the finest automatic movements in the sector of horology. Further proving its finesse and craft, this self-winding, 31-jewel movement provides precision timekeeping and a robust 50-hour power reserve. The Sea-Dweller doesn't include the iconic Cyclops lens, which distinguishes it from other Rolex divers. The absence of the Cyclops lens accentuates the clean, minimalistic aesthetic of the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protecting the watch face and enhances the wearer's viewing experience, particularly under water. To guarantee a secure fit on any adventurer's wrist, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller is armed with the renowned Oyster Bracelet model 93150. Exclusively crafted from durable 904L stainless steel, the bracelet merges robustness with comfort and contributes to the watch's timeless appeal. In sum, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller reference 16600 is an embodiment of Rolex's innovation and commitment to excellence. It seamlessly merges the thrills of deep-sea exploration with the sophistication of esteemed horological design, creating a timepiece that is truly a class apart.
