Known as the bigger and more capable sibling to the iconic Submariner dive watch, is’s no wonder why so many loyal Rolex customers have their eye on this absolute stunner.

The new Oyster Perpetual Date Sea-Dweller 126600 replaces the 116600, which has now been discontinued. While no one could describe the previous incarnation of the Sea-Dweller as ‘broke’, the updates to the model are definitely welcome—and a fitting tribute to a watch that has always been a champion of pushing the boundaries.

Despite the changes, Rolex has been careful to tie the 126600 to its origins, to appease the die-hard fans of the Sea-Dweller . The crisp, black dial bears one line of red text—a deliberate homage to the exceedingly rare, ‘single red’ Sea-Dweller prototype of the 1960s, of which only a handful survive to this day.
