Rolex Deepsea​

Rolex Deepsea​ meets the exacting requirements of professional divers in terms of resistance to underwater pressure, precision and reliability, while featuring the aesthetic DNA and intrinsic characteristics of the Professional watches in the Oyster Perpetual collection.

At its launch, this deep-sea divers’ watch inaugurated the Ringlock system – a unique case architecture that allows it to withstand the pressure exerted at this extreme depth. Its 44 mm Oyster case is equipped with the helium escape valve.

The Rolex Deepsea​ in Oystersteel comes with an intense black dial or D-blue dial. It features a unidirectional rotatable bezel with graduated Cerachrom insert in black ceramic. In 2024, the brand unveiled an 18 ct yellow gold version with a blue dial and a Cerachrom bezel insert in blue ceramic.

The Deepsea Challenge reaffirms Rolex’s legitimacy as a pioneering brand in the world of watches for deep-sea diving and its expertise in waterproofness and resistance to underwater pressure.

This 50 mm watch is an adaptation of the Rolex Deepsea Challenge – the experimental watch that accompanied filmmaker and explorer James Cameron into the Mariana Trench in 2012, attached to the exterior of his submersible.

Crafted from RLX titanium, the Deepsea Challenge is available with an intense black dial and features a unidirectional rotatable bezel with graduated Cerachrom insert in black ceramic.

Rolex’s patented Ringlock system equips the brand’s divers’ watches designed for extreme depths, the Rolex Deepsea and the Deepsea Challenge. An extension of the research dedicated to the waterproofness of the Oyster, this system is a reinforced case architecture comprising a thick, slightly domed sapphire crystal, a high-performance compression ring, and a case back made from RLX titanium.

The compression ring is crafted from a nitrogen-alloyed steel on the Rolex Deepsea​ in Oystersteel and the Deepsea Challenge, while it is manufactured in a blue high-tech ceramic – a first for this component – on the 18 ct yellow gold version of the Rolex Deepsea.
