The Rolex Sea-Dweller Reference 126600 <\/a>is the premiere dive watch that all dive watches aspire to, but none can match. With support for a waterproof depth of 4,000 feet, divers can be sure that this timepiece will help them keep accurate time as they plan their decompression stops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 126600 has ties to the original timepiece launched in 1967. However, the new timepiece was rereleased at Baselworld in 2017 with quite a few changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No other timepiece in the Rolex lineup achieve the superior qualities that Hans Wildorf aspired to so dramatically as the Sea-Dweller. It has precise timekeeping and is labeled as a Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified right on the dial. It is precise within -2\/+2 seconds per day and tested and certified by the most rigorous standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, this certification is further protected by the components inside the timepiece itself. Its oscillator is a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and it has high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers. So, even diving and banging around the timepiece, this unique watch will take a beating and still keep its accuracy intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a powerful bidirectional self-winding automatic movement powered by a new 3235 caliber movement. The perpetual rotor provides a new 70 hours power reserve. Although most of the Rolex lineup now has these new features the next feature sets the Sea-Dweller apart, achieving something Wilsdorf worked towards his entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hans Wilsdorf pursued waterproofness in his timepieces like nobody in history. Initially he made a statement with the waterproof Oyster case and then with the triplock triple waterproofness system as part of the winding crown mechanism. This was a great improvement on the patented mechanism he acquired in the 1920’s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the addition of the helium escape valve, the reference 126600 can get to depths and retain waterproofness that no other watch (save for the Sea-Dweller DeepSea) can achieve. If there ever was a crowning achievement for the great Rolex crown, this would be the timepiece that possesses all of the features it could ever need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rolex Sea-Dweller Reference 126600 is the newest Sea-Dweller and has quite a few new features over the older versions of the timepiece. The biggest and most noticeable difference is the larger 43mm case. The older Sea-Dwellers conformed to a smallish 40 mm case, but this new reference 126600 is big and bold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly a larger timepiece is welcomed by the consumers world-wide who have been buying larger quantities of larger timepieces. However, Rolex didn’t do this just to satisfy a consumer need. The larger timepiece has a more powerful caliber inside and the additional space gives it more room to give it the nearly 1 extra day of power reserve over the older model. At nearly 3 days of reserve power, it is unlikely that it will ever run out if you wear this timepiece every other day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2017 marked the 50th anniversary of the first Sea-Dweller. And Rolex left some of its history in its rear view mirror. The new Sea-Dweller Reference 126600 has a date window with a Cyclops lens. Unlike the Sea-Dweller Reference 116600 which had no date and no lens, this new timepiece comes makes the date window the 2nd most noticeable change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less noticeable changes on the 126600 include a larger lug width on the band – 22mm over the former 20 mm lug. The new Chromalight technology glows up to 8 hours now which is 2x the amount for the older SuperLuminova. It also glows a pleasant blue which is very good when you are diving in the dark depths of the ocean or anywhere where there is darkness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
