Conquering The Depths of the Ocean with the Epitome of Rolex Watchmaking

How Rolex has met the demands of human exploration of the ocean with cutting-edge diving technology, from the Oyster Perpetual Submariner, Sea-Dweller to the depth-defying Rolex Deepsea A new patented self-winding Perpetual rotor mechanism meant the wearer no longer needed to unscrew the winding crown every day, ensuring the waterproofness of the Rolex timepiece, and incidentally henceforth giving rise to the "Oyster Perpetual" official name across different Rolex collections For deep-sea exploration, Rolex unveiled the Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea.

The Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea rounds out Rolex's trio of divers' watches To this end, Rolex developed a special hyperbaric test tank jointly with COMEX, built to properly create the gauntlet that every Rolex Deepsea watch will run - and more A graduated deep-blue to pitch-black dial, first seen in the Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea D-blue Dial launched in 2014, was inspired by filmmaker James Cameron's record setting journey in 2012, piloting the Deepsea Challenger submersible to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, going from blue waters to the blackness of the unseen depths.

The Patented Rolex Glidelock system allows the bracelet to be lengthened by up to 20 mm in 2 mm increments, which helps to keep the Rolex Deepsea snug on the wrist as the dive suit shrinks while descending and expands while surfacing. . Source
