Rolex 126600 Sea-Dweller SS Black Dial

The Rolex 126600 Sea-Dweller represents a major evolution of the legendary professional diver’s timepiece, debuting in 2017 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sea-Dweller collection. For the first time in the line's history, the case size increased to 43mm, offering a bold but balanced wrist presence. The signature "Sea-Dweller" name in red script on the dial pays direct homage to the original 1967 release, an essential detail for collectors and purists. Powered by the robust, in-house Caliber 3235 automatic movement, this model boasts Rolex's cutting-edge Chronergy escapement and offers a remarkable 70-hour power reserve. The 126600 features the classic black dial paired with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert and Rolex’s professional-grade Oystersteel construction for maximum corrosion resistance. Rated for a depth of 1,220 meters, it includes the helium escape valve that was pioneered by the Sea-Dweller series, cementing its tool-watch legacy. Collectors value its single-date window with Cyclops lens—another first for the Sea-Dweller—making this reference unique in the lineage. The model’s blend of technical prowess, historical callbacks, and modern refinements makes it a sought-after piece among serious diving watch enthusiasts and Rolex aficionados. As a symbol of Rolex innovation and enduring relevance, the 126600 holds a distinctive place within the brand’s professional lineup. Like New with Rolex box and papers dated 2023.
