Rolex has created a tradition of excellence in dive watches that goes back over a century at this point in time. In large part, the company’s reputation was built on these watches, as they came to prominence in the late 1920’s, when legendary British swimmer Mercedes Gleitze became the first woman to swim the English Channel – and she did so while wearing a Rolex.
Why is the Rolex Deepsea 166660 A Special Watch?
This tradition has continued on well into the present, with the Deepsea model arguably being the pinnacle of Rolex’s engineering achievements when it comes to diving watches.
Originally released in 2008 as a variant of the storied Sea-Dweller model, this timepiece has descended into the deepest parts of the ocean and come up intact. It is the result of years of experimentation and execution on the part of hundreds of scientists and watchmakers.
In fact, this watch has a water resistance of 12,800 feet, which is significantly more depth than a human can safely swim on their own, even with SCUBA gear on. The Deepsea was not created simply to allow Rolex to gloat, but to allow scientists to take highly accurate, potentially life-saving measurements while doing deep-sea research in high-pressure conditions.
This watch was particularly notable because legendary filmmaker, documentarian, and deep-sea explorer James Cameron wore one when he completed his solo dive to the bottom of the Marianas Trench in 2012, making him the first person in history to accomplish this feat. The following year, Rolex would release a special edition of the Deepsea to commemorate this astounding accomplishment.
In those types of situations, safety is of paramount importance, which means the equipment must be of the highest possible quality. Excellence is often imitated, but there is nothing like the original when you are opting to purchase the best possible product, and the ultimate dive watch deserves the ultimate rubber strap.
What Are The Best Rubber Straps Available For The 116660?
The Swiss-made Rubber B straps shown above are micro-calibrated for a flawless fit onto the large case of the 116660. There is no movement between the case and strap and it is smooth to the touch, following the lines of the case for a fully integrated luxury finish. We offer several closure options on our straps for the Deepsea, each catering to different tastes.
Rubber B offers three different types of straps for this particular timepiece. The first, and most popular of these straps, is from the Glidelock series.
The Glidelock Series strap shown above incorporates the already present Oysterlock clasp of the Deepsea watch. This allows the wearer to take advantage of the Glidelock extension system, which lengthens the bracelet as needed for different types of dives. The Glidelock is available in Jet Black and pairs well with the natural color scheme of the Deepsea.
Rubber B also offers straps for the Deepsea with a 316l stainless steel tang buckle. The straps in this series come in a variety of color options, like Red Devil, Pacific Blue, Jet Black, Arctic White, and Mandarin Orange. The Steel Tang straps are also available in our dual-toned VulChromatic colors, like Jet Black and Lime Green. This combination is ideal for owners of the D-Blue Deepsea configuration, as the green stripe matches the name on the dial, further adding symmetry between the watch and the strap.
Finally, we also offer a Velcro Series strap for the Deepsea with an industrial-strength Velcro closure. It is available in a variety of sizes, from extra-small to extra-large, and is available in the Jet Black color.
Gore-Tenara marine thread is used to hand-sew the velcro onto the strap, with a titanium insert lining the attachment loop. This highly durable material helps to ensure resistance to UV rays, harsh atmospheric conditions, and chemicals that a diver may encounter while conducting underwater experiments.
No matter which of these three options you choose for your watch, you can be assured that you are receiving the best quality rubber strap for the Rolex Deepsea 116660 in the world. Rubber B has spent over a decade perfecting these watch straps and was the first company to develop custom rubber watch straps exclusively for Rolex watches. We are passionate about only crafting and releasing the highest quality possible products to our devoted clientele.
