Rolex Sea-Dweller 40mm — Ref. 16600, 1996 The Sea-Dweller is Rolex's professional dive watch, developed in collaboration with deep-sea saturation divers and rated to 1,220 metres (4,000 feet). The ref. 16600 succeeded the long-running 16660 "Triple Six" in the late 1980s and was produced until 2008, making it the last Sea-Dweller before the Deepsea era. This example was produced in 1996. Reference: 16600 Year of production: 1996 Case size: 40mm Case material: Stainless steel (904L) Bezel: Unidirectional rotating, 60-minute graduated Dial: Black with luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands Bracelet: Stainless steel Oyster with Fliplock extension Crystal: Sapphire (no cyclops) Movement: Rolex Calibre 3135, automatic self-winding. COSC chronometer-certified Water resistance: 1,220 metres / 4,000 feet Features: Helium escape valve at 9 o'clock The Sea-Dweller 16600 is widely regarded as one of the most purposeful tool watches Rolex has ever produced. Its no-cyclops design, classic Mercedes handset, and serious depth rating give it a presence on the wrist that distinguishes it from the more common Submariner.
