Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 Steel 116600 - 2015

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 (Reference 116600) is an icon among diving watches and was specially developed for professional divers. It combines Rolex's decades of expertise in manufacturing reliable and robust timepieces with state-of-the-art technology and outstanding design.

Design and Materials:

The Sea-Dweller 4000 is made from high-quality 904L stainless steel, a material known for its exceptional corrosion resistance. The 40-mm case is protected by a scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal, and the Rotating Bezel with ceramic insert allows for precise dive time measurement. The Good readable Chromalight hands and indices on the black dial ensure excellent legibility, even in deep waters or low-light conditions.

Features:

The Sea-Dweller 4000 is waterproof up to an impressive depth of 1,220 meters (4,000 feet), making it one of the most resilient diving watches in the world. Thanks to the patented helium valve, which is essential for saturation diving, the pressure that builds up during ascent in the decompression chamber can safely escape without damaging the case.

Movement:

Inside the Sea-Dweller 4000 works the Rolex Caliber 3135, an automatic manufacture movement known for its precision and reliability. It is certified according to the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) and offers a power reserve of about 48 hours. The movement is protected by a Parachrom hairspring, which is particularly resistant to magnetic fields and shocks.

Comfort and Functionality:

The Oyster bracelet with the patented Glidelock clasp allows for fine adjustment of the band length, so the watch can be easily worn over a diving suit. Additionally, the solid link design ensures exceptional wearing comfort and stability.

Conclusion:

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 (116600) is the perfect combination of robust tool watch design and Rolex’s unparalleled craftsmanship. It is aimed at demanding divers and watch collectors who appreciate a technical masterpiece and a stylish statement on the wrist.
