ROLEX Sea Dweller Deep Sea 116660 V Serial Steel Automatic Mens 116660 Polished
The Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea Ref. 116660 is an uncompromising professional dive watch engineered for extreme underwater environments. Introduced in 2008, the original Deepsea represented a major technical evolution of the Sea-Dweller, combining a substantial 44mm stainless steel Oyster case, black dial and black ceramic bezel with Rolex's innovative Ringlock System to achieve an extraordinary depth rating of 3,900 metres / 12,800 feet.
This V-serial example dates to circa 2009, placing it among the earlier examples of the original-generation Deepsea 116660. Its black dial features highly legible luminous hour markers and hands, complemented by the unidirectional ceramic dive bezel and date display with Cyclops magnification. The stainless steel Oyster bracelet incorporates Rolex's Glidelock extension system, providing practical adjustment without requiring tools.
At its heart is the highly regarded Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement, offering approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Combined with the Ringlock System and automatic helium escape valve, the Ref. 116660 represents one of Rolex's most technically accomplished professional dive watches of its generation.
