Sea-Dweller 40mm Steel Aluminum Bezel
Model #16600 Box:No Paper:No Year:2000The Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 represents the purest expression of Rolex's professional diving philosophy, embodying four decades of underwater exploration and professional diving heritage. This robust 40mm steel timepiece features the classic aluminum bezel and traditional helium escape valve—elements that defined Sea-Dweller character for four decades before modern ceramic bezels became standard. The matte black dial and unidirectional bezel create that serious, purposeful aesthetic that professional divers have trusted for generations of underwater work.
Powered by caliber 3135, this legendary diver delivers robust reliability and approximately 48 hours of power reserve with the proven chronometric precision that has made these watches indispensable to professional divers worldwide. The helium escape valve at 9 o'clock allows safe decompression during saturation diving—a critical feature for professional underwater work that distinguishes the Sea-Dweller from lesser dive watches. Our team noted this example's exceptional preservation, complete with green serial tag confirming proper service history and authentication over its two-decade lifespan.
Buy this used Rolex Sea-Dweller from Master Luxury with complete confidence. This mint condition example comes with original papers dated 01-JAN-2000 and includes the important green serial tag documenting its service record. As the last aluminum-bezeled Sea-Dweller, this reference has become increasingly collectible among vintage diving watch enthusiasts who recognize its authentic tool-watch heritage. This authentic Rolex diver offers both professional capability and growing investment value as these traditional specifications become increasingly rare in modern production, representing a golden era of diving watch design.
