Among the new products presented by Rolex at Watches & Wonders 2024, there is one whose robust presence does not go unnoticed, we are talking about the new Deepsea which now arrives in yellow gold and with a blue dial.
And starting with the biggest curiosity that will certainly generate some buzz among the fiercest community is that, for the first time, the imposing diving watch comes without the previous designation “Sea-Dweller” on the dial, saying goodbye once and for all of this mention.
The pretentious dive watch features a 44mm diameter case, 17.70mm thickness and 51.80mm shoulder spacing, sapphire crystal, unidirectional Cerachrom bezel in the same blue shade as the dial, fluted crown at 3 o’clock with the brand’s signature and protected by guards, and on the opposite side we find a helium escape valve, screw-down RLX titanium caseback and water resistance of 3,990 meters.
The dial is painted royal blue and features applied hour markers which, along with the three asymmetrical central hands, are all filled with Chromalight lume, a small date window next to the crown and the words “Original Gas Escape Valve” on the bezel between 10 and 2 o’clock.
Inside runs the chronometer-certified Caliber 3235, which reaches 28,800 Vph and offers up to 70 hours of power reserve.
The dive watch comes attached to a solid yellow gold Oyster bracelet, as does the case with a Glidelock clasp, leaving behind the previous Fliplock Dive Extension system, and hits the market with a price of €54,200.
