Description

Rolex Sea-Dweller Reference 1665 Year 1974 Self-winding movement Caliber 1520 Mk4 This 1974 Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 Double Red represents one of the most fascinating icons of vintage sports watches. Produced for professional use in extreme diving, it is famous for the double red “Sea-Dweller / Submariner 2000” lettering, an extremely rare detail and today highly sought-after by collectors. The stainless steel Oyster case, domed plexiglass crystal, and helium escape valve demonstrate Rolex’s pioneering approach to professional diving. The dial, with its warm, even patina, maintains an extraordinary aesthetic balance, enhanced by perfectly period-appropriate indexes and hands. In excellent condition, this Sea-Dweller is not just a watch but a truly rare and timeless piece of history.

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.
