Rolex Sea-Dweller 40
Stainless Steel

This 2008 Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 16600 offers the classic, no-nonsense tool-watch aesthetic that has made the model a favourite among professional divers and collectors alike. Its black dial, unidirectional bezel, and helium escape valve emphasise its purpose-built design, while the 40mm stainless-steel case maintains the balanced proportions associated with this generation of Sea-Dwellers. The sapphire crystal and crisp dial layout ensure excellent legibility, complemented by the robust automatic movement within.

In very good condition and accompanied by both its box and papers, this example provides strong assurance of originality and care. The stainless-steel bracelet enhances its durability and everyday wearability, and the watch retains the timeless look that made the ref. 16600 the last of the classic Sea-Dwellers before later generations increased in size and design complexity. This piece represents a dependable and highly respected professional diver’s watch with enduring appeal.
