Watches in the Deepsea range demonstrate the unique expertise of Rolex in waterproofness and resistance to underwater pressure. Symbols of the long-shared history between the brand and deep-sea explorers, the Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea and Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge are ultra-resistant professional divers’ watches. They are waterproof to a depth of 3,900 metres (12,800 feet) for the Rolex Deepsea, launched in 2008, and 11,000 metres (36,090 feet) for the Deepsea Challenge, presented in 2022.
The Rolex Deepsea meets the exacting requirements of professional divers in terms of resistance to underwater pressure, precision and reliability, while featuring the aesthetic DNA and intrinsic characteristics of the Professional watches in the Oyster Perpetual collection.
At its launch, this deep-sea divers’ watch inaugurated the Ringlock system – a unique case architecture that allows it to withstand the pressure exerted at this extreme depth. Its 44 mm Oyster case is equipped with the helium escape valve.
