This is the iconic Rolex Sea Dweller 40mm reference 16600. Dressed in a Black Dial, this Sea Dweller from 2002 features a 40mm case, which is sits extremely comfortable on the wrist. It brings the functionality of a Sea Dweller on the case size matching to a Submariner. Which means that this is not just a diver’s watch like the modern Sea Dwellers but it is a piece that you can proudly wear on your wrist every day and that to very comfortably. Even though it is 22 years old at this point, the watch still comes complete with box and papers and it even has the original case back sticker still on it.
In a world where larger dimensions have become the norm, the Rolex Sea Dweller 40mm stands out for its timeless proportions. For those who appreciate watchmaking, this is a perfect addition to the collection as Rolex has constantly achieved deeper depths under water with the Sea Dweller lineup. While the new Sea Dweller models can go all the way down to 36,090ft, this one can just make it down to 4,000ft. While it feels like a smaller number when compared to the newer reference, it was a huge achievement for Rolex back in the day.
