Rolex Seadweller 16600 Steel Automatic Watch 1993 Full Set & Decompression Tables

Steel Sea-Dweller watch, an emblematic figure among the sports watches developed by the house of Rolex, designed to meet the demands of professional deep-sea diving.

Thoughtfully designed for saturation diving environments, the Sea-Dweller differs from its Rolex Submariner counterpart in its enhanced submerged capabilities. In particular, it incorporates a helium decompression valve, visible on the edge of the case, enabling the evacuation of gases during ascent phases.

It features all the technical characteristics typical of professional diving watches:

• lunette tournante graduée pour la mesure des temps d'immersion

• index et aiguilles luminescents

• couronne vissée en vue d'en garantir l'étanchéité

• fond de boîte vissé, to ensure resistance to pressure and reliability

These characteristics, in force for its use when it left the factory, are nevertheless no longer guaranteed by Rolex itself, insofar as the watch is over 10 years old. A fortiori, therefore, we cannot guarantee total water-resistance. However, this watch retains its robust qualities.

This example is offered in a particularly complete and rare full set configuration, including:

• original leather case and surboîte

• original papers with invoice dated January 20, 1993

• international service guarantee dated November 16, 2004

• original instructions for use and calendar

• blistered Rolex decompression table, an accessory that has become hard to find

• BÜHLMANN decompression table, derived from scientific models developed by the University of Zurich, used as a reference in technical diving

The joint presence of these two tables - one Rolex institutional, the other derived from scientific diving protocols - lends this set a particularly sought-after coherence and technical depth.

The watch is presented in remarkable condition, very little worn, retaining all its original presence.

An essential benchmark in watchmaking diving, the Sea-Dweller today benefits from a particularly dynamic market, with complete examples in this condition becoming rare.
