replica rolex yacht master watches

Although the Submariner is easily their most famous and best-selling dive watch; Rolex actually manufactures two other timepieces that were specifically designed to out-perform the Submariner at conquering the depths of the ocean. Initially conceived during the 1960s, the Rolex Sea-Dweller is a collection of ultra-capable professional dive watches that aims to pick up where the Submariner left off, enabling its users to dive deeper and stay at depth longer.

The Rolex Sea-Dweller collection replica rolex yacht master watches consists of both the standard Sea-Dweller and its even more extreme brother, the Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller. While the Deepsea holds the title of being Rolex’s most water resistant watch, both timepieces are among the largest and most capable dive watches that Rolex has ever put forward. Although they were both designed for a similar intended purpose, the Rolex Sea-Dweller and the Rolex Deepsea are surprisingly different watches.
Between the classic Sea-Dweller and the Deepsea, the entire Rolex Sea-Dweller collection now consists of 4 watches. The classic Rolex Sea-Dweller is offered in both stainless steel (ref. 126600) and two-tone steel and 18k yellow gold (ref. 126603). Additionally, the Rolex Deepsea is also offered in two different variations, both of which are crafted exclusively from stainless steel. The standard version of the reference 126660 Rolex Deepsea is fitted with a classic black dial, while the other (nicknamed the “James Cameron”) has what Rolex calls the ‘D-Blue’ dial, which fades from dark blue to black and replica watches uk features the DEEPSEA name in bright green text.
Although the Sea-Dweller has traditionally been a 40mm watch, the most recent generation of Sea-Dweller watches has seen an increase in size to a 43mm case diameter. Additionally, while previous versions of the Sea-Dweller have traditionally had flat crystals, the latest generation adds Rolex’s iconic Cyclops magnification lens to the surface of the crystal. With the exception of a few small details on the dial and bezel, the latest generation of Rolex Sea-Dweller largely resembles a larger version of the contemporary Rolex Submariner.

Despite being a part of the Sea-Dweller collection, the Deepsea is a significantly different watch from a case architecture standpoint. While the case design of the regular Sea-Dweller is similar to a traditional Rolex timepiece, the 44mm case of the reference 116660 Deepsea uses Rolex’s patented Ringlock System that allows the Deepsea to survive depths in excess of 3,900 meters (12,800 feet). Due to this highly specialized case design, the Rolex Deepsea is chunkier than the regular Sea-Dweller, and its extra thick, domed sapphire crystal (without Cyclops magnification lens) gives the watch a noticeably different appearance both on and off the wrist.
