Rolex Deepsea
The science of waterproofness
Equipped with a helium escape valve and Ringlock system, waterproof to 3,900 metres (12,800 feet), the Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea is a tool watch specifically designed to withstand extreme pressure at the greatest depths.
The Rolex Deepsea was the brand’s first Professional watch to feature the Ringlock system, an innovative case architecture that enhances the Oyster case’s resistance to pressure found in the ocean’s depths.
Exclusive to Rolex and patented in 1967, the helium escape valve that equips the Rolex Deepsea is a major invention for saturation diving.
The Rolex Deepsea is equipped with the Triplock winding crown. This helps guarantee the waterproofness of its Oyster case to a depth of 3,900 metres (12,800 feet).
A key feature of Rolex divers’ watches, the bezel is fitted with a graduated Cerachrom bezel insert, an essential technical element that allows divers to accurately read their time spent underwater.
The Chromalight display gives the Rolex Deepsea optimal legibility in any circumstances.
One of the Oystersteel versions of the Rolex Deepsea features a D‑blue dial, named in tribute to James Cameron’s historic dive aboard the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible in the Mariana Trench in 2012.
The Rolex Deepsea’s Oyster bracelet is equipped with the Oysterlock clasp. Exclusive to Rolex Professional watches and patented, it ensures both a secure fastening and easy handling, even underwater.
Oystersteel is an exclusive and highly corrosion-resistant alloy that retains its shine even when the watch is put to extreme use.
The Rolex Deepsea is powered by calibre 3235. A consummate demonstration of various technologies, this self-winding mechanical movement is entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex.
