The Sea-Dweller Deepsea James Cameron Edition, reference 116660, is a tribute to filmmaker James Cameron's historic diving mission in 2012, during which he reached the deepest point on Earth, the Mariana Trench. This special model was introduced by Rolex in 2014 and impresses with its robust construction and high functionality as a professional diving instrument.
The design of the watch reflects its connection to the underwater world, particularly through the striking dial with a gentle gradient from deep blue to black, symbolizing the decreasing light intensity when diving to great depths. These color transitions make the watch visually unique and reminiscent of Cameron's historic solo expedition.
The case is made of stainless steel and measures 44 mm in diameter, which contributes to its imposing and powerful appearance. It is equipped with the patented Ringlock system, which allows the watch to withstand enormous pressure and guarantees water resistance to a depth of 3,900 meters (12,800 feet). The helium escape valve and the robust Oyster clasp, which is equipped with a Glidelock and Fliplock extension, underline the watch's suitability for extreme deep-sea diving.
At the heart of the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3135, an automatic movement known for its precision and reliability. The movement offers a power reserve of around 48 hours and is equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring that is resistant to magnetic fields and shocks.
The back of the watch also features a special engraving that references Cameron's expedition. This Sea-Dweller Deepsea is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a sought-after collector's watch, inspired by its connection to a significant scientific and human adventure.
