Rolex 126600 Sea Dweller RED 50th Anniversary SS Black Dial

The Rolex Sea Dweller reference 126600, introduced in 2017 for the 50th anniversary of the collection, represents a significant milestone in the history of Rolex dive watches. This model reintroduced the vibrant red "Sea-Dweller" text on the dial, a direct nod to the original vintage ref. 1665, earning it the community nickname “Red.” Showcasing a robust 43mm Oystersteel case and equipped with a substantial depth rating of 1,220 meters, the 126600 blends historic lineage with modern technology. It utilizes the in-house Caliber 3235 movement, notable for its Chronergy escapement, 70-hour power reserve, and Superlative Chronometer rating, reflecting Rolex’s latest technical advancements. Collectors particularly value this anniversary edition for being the first Sea Dweller to feature a Cyclops lens over the date, historically absent from previous references. The ceramic bezel ensures scratch resistance, while the matte black dial and maxi indices provide optimal legibility underwater. This reference marks the transition of the Sea Dweller from a specialist tool into a versatile, sought-after modern Rolex, instantly recognizable with its red dial script. This 50th Anniversary edition quickly became a centerpiece for collectors aiming to capture a blend of vintage allure and cutting-edge Rolex innovation. Like New with Rolex box and papers dated 2017.
