The unidirectional rotatable bezel with a Cerachrom insert in scratch-resistant ceramic allows divers to accurately measure dive times, while the knurled edge ensures a firm grip, even when wearing diving gloves.

At the heart of the Deepsea 136660-0005 is Rolex’s in-house Caliber 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement known for its precision, reliability, and power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, ensuring accuracy within -2/+2 seconds per day.

Completing this timepiece is the Oyster bracelet, crafted from robust Oystersteel and featuring the Glidelock extension system and Fliplock extension link, allowing the bracelet to be easily adjusted for wear over a diving suit. The Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea 136660-0005 is the ultimate tool watch, embodying the pinnacle of Rolex’s diving expertise and dedication to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking.
