Although the Submariner is easily its most famous and best-selling dive watch; Rolex manufactures two other timepieces that were specifically designed to outperform the Submariner at conquering the depths of the ocean. Initially conceived during the 1960s, the Rolex Sea-Dweller<\/a> is a collection of ultra-capable professional dive watches that aims to pick up where the Submariner left off, enabling its users to dive deeper and stay at depth longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rolex Sea-Dweller collection consists of both the standard Sea-Dweller and its even more extreme brother, the Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller. While the Deepsea holds the title of being Rolex\u2019s most water-resistant watch, both timepieces are among the largest and most capable dive watches that Rolex has ever put forward. Although they were both designed for a similar intended purpose, the Rolex Sea-Dweller and the Rolex Deepsea are surprisingly different watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
