Developed in 1967, waterproof to a depth of 610 metres (2000 feet) initially and then to 1220 metres (4000 feet) in 1978. When the Hydra VIII mission by Comex (Compagnie Maritime d Expertises) set the world open-sea diving record at a depth of 534 metres in 1988, the watch that accompanied the divers on their mission was a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller chronometer. This model was standard equipment for the world leader in marine engineering.

Fashioned from stainless steel this watch has a brushed and polished case fitted to a black ceramic bezel, black dial with date and lumed hour markers for legibility, helium escape valve,automatic movement and brushed oyster bracelet.

In mint condition this Rolex Sea-Dweller is supplied with the original Rolex boxes, Rolex warranty card and instruction manual.
