Footnote: The Rolex Sea-Dweller was first launched in 1967 having been specially developed for deep-sea divers. Saturation divers who had previously been issued with Rolex Submariners found that during decompression, the pressure inside the watch would force its way out through the weakest point which usually resulted in the loss of the plexiglass. In response to this, Rolex developed the Sea-Dweller. With a helium escape valve on the side, a greater depth rating of 610 meters and the removal of the cyclops from the crystal, the Sea-Dweller is a true tool watch and has been favoured by professional divers ever since its introduction.
The reference 16600 was released in 1988 and was produced for 20 years before being discontinued in 2008.
