The Sea-Dweller was developed in part with the United States navy, along with French extreme conditions and deep-dive engineering solutions company ‘COMEX’, and early prototypes borrowed a 5513 Submariner’s skeleton. With a thicker case, domed plexiglass crystal, triplock crown, and helium escapement, Rolex debuted the 1665 in 1967, replacing the Submariner as the go-to dive watch for enthusiasts.

The Double Red moniker given to the earliest Sea-Dwellers is in reference to the two lines of red text on the dial these eventually went away in favor of all white texts, which ultimately make these very desirable.

While any Sea-Dweller may be overkill for surface-level atmospheric bodies, it remains a symbol and testament today of Rolex’s commitment to providing tools for pushing the limits, known and unknown, seen and unseen.

This specific DRSD has an amazing pumpkin patina dial. The faded insert is a nice contrast to the very saturated lume plots.
