Rolex Sea-Dweller

During the 1967s, Rolex introduced its diving watch to meet the exacting needs of professional divers. Initially, this Rolex Sea-Dweller was launched with a depth rating of 2000ft/600m. Later it upgraded up to 4000ft/1220m. It’s a case of black dial and bezel crafted with 904L Solid Stainless Steel. Rolex designed this timepiece especially for the diving, not as a fashion accessory. Rolex Sea-Dweller’s advance version is better known as Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA. Rolex this robust model was launched in 2008 with some advanced features. Rolex Deepsea Ref.116660 is one of my favorite dive timepieces has water resistant up to the depth of 12800ft/3900m. It is 44m diameter black dial, steel case equipped with COSC Rolex mechanical self-winding movement and advanced triplock system. Without any doubt, Rolex Sea-Dweller is the perfect tool watch for divers who require watch functions that help them and excel at sport.

Rolex Submariner

First Rolex Submariner was unveiled at the Swiss Watch Fair in 1954. Rolex’s Submariner has its own recognition among diving tool watches and also known for its water resistant quality and corrosion. New version of Rolex Submariner is also known as Rolex Submariner-Date. First Submariner-Date was launch on the mechanism of Rolex GMT-Master II with blue face and bezel. Later in 2010, its steel case models were launched. Rolex new Submariner models featured advance tiplock system, sapphire crystal and upgraded depth rating of 1000ft. Almost all Submariner-Date versions are of 40mm case and can be available in Gold and Steel material with different dials and bezels colors including black, blue and green.

Both of Rolex diving timepieces are really reliable even have been adopted by French diving company COMEX in 1960 for their saturation divers, and it was really continued until the company sold in 1997. For a lifestyle plus diving accessory, my suggestion is Rolex Submariner and if you are a professional or Cuba diver then goes with advance version of Rolex Sea-Dweller. Both are fine tool watches even you find them in Swiss Replica Rolex.
