Rolex Sea Dweller DEEPSEA 126660

Rolex Deepsea James Cameron Ref 126660.

The Rolex Deepsea James Cameron is a special edition dive watch created by Rolex in collaboration with filmmaker James Cameron. The watch is named after Cameron, who is known for his deep-sea exploration and his descent to the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world’s oceans.

The Rolex Deepsea James Cameron watch was introduced in 2014 as a tribute to Cameron’s historic solo dive to the Mariana Trench in 2012. It is based on the Rolex Deepsea, which is already known for its exceptional water resistance and rugged design.

The Deepsea James Cameron features a larger 44mm stainless steel case and is equipped with Rolex’s patented Ringlock System, which allows the watch to withstand extreme depths of up to 12,800 feet (3,900 meters). The watch also has a helium escape valve, allowing it to handle the pressure changes experienced during saturation diving.

One of the distinctive features of the Deepsea James Cameron is its dial, which is a unique shade of blue. This color represents the depths of the ocean and is known as “D-Blue.” The dial also features a gradient effect, transitioning from deep blue to black, symbolizing the descent into the abyss.

Additionally, the watch features a special “Deepsea” logo on the dial in green, paying homage to James Cameron’s historic dive. The watch is powered by Rolex’s automatic movement, known for its reliability and accuracy.

Overall, the Rolex Deepsea James Cameron is a remarkable timepiece that combines the technical excellence of Rolex’s dive watches with a design that honours James Cameron’s deep-sea exploration achievements.
