The ultimate diver's watch

Sea-Dweller

The Sea-Dweller is a professional diving watch made by Rolex especially for the world's leading diving company COMEX. COMEX needed watches that could dive to extreme depths, deal with pressure chambers and survive the ensuing decompression phases. A Rolex Tool-Watch per excellence.

Built to last

CERACHROM LÜNETTE

Rolex designed and patented the Cerachrom bezel for selected Professional models to ensure readability and aesthetics in the toughest conditions. It is extremely scratch-resistant and resistant to discolouration from UV rays. They digits are engraved into the ceramic and covered with a fine gold or platinum layer.

Robust & sought after

Stainless steel Oystersteel

For a Rolex to retain its beauty and functionality in extreme conditions, Rolex uses its own stainless steel alloy - Oystersteel. It is particularly resistant to corrosion and distinguished by its special shine. Oystersteel belongs to the steel grade "Stainless Steel 904L" which is normally used in extreme areas such as the aerospace and chemical industries.

In the right time

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

How deep is deep?

When I started wearing watches at a young age, everything was quite simple for me. If the words “Water Resistant” were written on the back cover, you had to be careful. On the other hand, if it said “30M”, everything was fine. Off to the beach with it and have fun. I wore those watches in the sea for years without a care in the world - for swimming, showering and bathing anyway.
