FIND YOUR PERFECT ROLEX SEA-DWELLER
On an initial inspection the Rolex Sea Dweller is very similar to the Rolex Submariner. However there are couple distinguishing features which make the Rolex Sea Dweller instantly recognisable. The Rolex Sea Dweller lacks a date cyclops and has a greatly increased depth rating thanks to the helium escape valve on the side of the stainless steel case. The Rolex Sea Dweller 1665 'Double Red' was released by Rolex 1967 as a result of a requirement for a dive watch with a greater depth rating than the Submariner. The 'Double Red' Sea-Dweller evolved into the 'Great White' when the text on the dial changed from red to white. The Rolex Sea Dweller 1665 originally had a depth rating of just 610 meters (2,000ft). The Rolex Sea Dweller continued to evolve over the year to include the following models.
