Description

This is an excellent example of a Rolex Sea-Dweller from 1978. The unpolished case is super sharp and crisp. The original Mark I dial is pristine with cream colored lume on the dial and hands. This watch comes on a folded oyster link bracelet with flip lock clasp. The condition of this watch is pristine. They don't come much better than this.

THE SEA-DWELLER 1967

1967 saw the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller, waterproof to a depth of 610 metres. To meet the needs of professional deep-sea divers, the case was equipped with a helium escape valve so that, during long decompression phases in hyperbaric chambers, the helium from the gas mixtures used could be released without risking damage to the watch.
