Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 - Black Red Letters - 2024

Why We Love This Watch

The Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 126600 is the marque's definitive professional dive instrument, produced for those who demand genuine depth capability alongside daily wearability. This 2024 example presents in unworn condition and is offered complete with its original box and papers.

The 43mm Oystersteel case is paired with a black dial and the distinctive red 'Sea-Dweller' lettering that defines this generation. A date window sits at 3 o'clock, magnified by the familiar Cyclops lens. The unidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with a black Cerachrom insert, offering scratch resistance and fade-proof colouring over time. Luminous baton hour markers and Chromalight-filled hands ensure legibility in low light and underwater environments.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3235, a movement that delivers a 70-hour power reserve along with Rolex's Superlative Chronometer certification for daily accuracy within plus or minus two seconds. A helium escape valve is integrated into the case, essential for saturation diving use. Water resistance is rated to 1,220 metres.

The Oyster bracelet is equipped with the Glidelock extension system and a Fliplock safety clasp, accommodating a wetsuit when required. Supplied with original Rolex box and papers dated 2024.
