Sea-Dweller 40mm Steel Aluminum Bezel
Model #16600 Box:Yes Paper:No Year:2004
The Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 represents a pivotal model in Rolex's professional diving watch evolution and stands as the last of its kind with traditional features now extinct in modern production. This 40mm steel powerhouse was the final Sea-Dweller to feature a helium escape valve with traditional spring mechanism and aluminum bezel, making it especially coveted among collectors who appreciate authentic tool watch heritage. The matte black aluminum bezel and deep black dial create that serious, professional aesthetic that defined the Sea-Dweller's identity from 1967 to 2008.
Inside beats caliber 3135, providing robust reliability and approximately 48 hours of power reserve with Rolex's signature self-winding efficiency. The helium escape valve at 9 o'clock allows saturation divers to safely decompress without compromising water resistance—a critical feature for professional underwater work. Our team was impressed by this example's preservation, complete with green serial tag—evidence of proper Rolex service history and authentication. The 1,220-meter water resistance remains unmatched by most modern dive watches, representing serious professional capability for technical diving applications.
Buy this used Rolex Sea-Dweller from Master Luxury with complete confidence. This excellent condition example comes with original box and papers dated 04-NOV-2004 and includes the coveted green serial tag confirming proper service records. As the final aluminum-bezeled Sea-Dweller, the Rolex 16600 has gained tremendous appreciation among vintage diving watch enthusiasts who recognize its significance as the end of an era. This authentic Rolex offers both legitimate professional capability and increasing collector value as these traditional specifications become increasingly rare in modern production.
