ROLEX SEA DWELLER 116600 SD4000: Our 5 Minute Review
OUR 5 MINUTE REVIEW OF THE ROLEX SEA DWELLER 116600 SD4000
Sit back and read our 5 minute review of the Rolex SEA DWELLER 116600 SD4000. Rolex returned to a 40mm Sea-Dweller in 2014 with the Rolex Sea Dweller 116600, or SD4000. Although the 116600 had the same diameter case as the Submariner at 40mm, the case was slightly thicker in order to accommodate the helium escape valve to ensure a depth rating of 1220m.
OUR ROLEX SEA DWELLER REVIEWS
ROLEX SEA DWELLER 116600
In 2008, Rolex discontinued the 40mm Sea Dweller 16600 and replaced it with the 44mm Rolex Deepsea 116660. In 2014 Rolex returned to a 40mm Sea Dweller with the Rolex Sea-Dweller 116600, or SD4000. Although the 116600 had the same diameter case as the Submariner at 40mm, the case was slightly thicker in order to accommodate the helium escape valve to ensure a depth rating of 1220m. The Sea Dweller 4000 also featured a black ceramic bezel with divers scale, matte black dial with applied hour markers, Mercedes style hands and was powered by the calibre 3135 automatic movement. The 116600 was fitted with an oyster bracelet with glide-lock clasp. The Rolex Sea Dweller 116600 4000 was discontinued in 2017 making it one of the shortest production runs for any Rolex sports model.

ROLEX SEA DWELLER 116600 - 3135 MOVEMENT:
The Rolex Sea Dweller 116600 is powered by the caliber 3135, a certified Chronometer with 31 jewels. The calibre 3135 was first announced by Rolex in 1988, and over four decades later, the movement is still in production. The rotor that powers this movement is bidirectional and when fully wound the movement will have a power reserve of 48 hours. It displays seconds, hours, minutes, and date at 3 o’clock. The Rolex Caliber 3135 is a movement that is used in a large number of watches from Rolex. As such, if you see a Rolex watch with a date function, chances are, it is powered by the 3135.
