Sometimes, a trusty, reliable diver’s watch is all it takes to keep a professional diver alive. And that’s where Rolex’s fleet of diving watches come in, with the new Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller being a stellar example of this. Outfitted with features that have made it the go-to watch for divers for 50 years—the iconic Oyster case that’s waterproof to depths of 1,220 metres; the helium escape valve patented by Rolex in 1967; the unidirectional rotatable scratchproof ceramic bezel among other things—this new addition is powered by Rolex’s new Calibre 3235. What that means is unrivalled precision, power reserve, shock and magnetism resistance, and reliability to continue the Sea-Dweller legend.
