The first Submariner featured a stainless steel case waterproof to 100 meters, a rotating black aluminum bezel graduated to 60 minutes, plenty of luminous material on the time-only dial for legibility in dark environments, and an automatic movement. Over the following decade, Rolex released a flurry of new Submariner references, tinkering with water depth ratings, movements, crown size, crown guards, and case dimensions. However, it wasn\u2019t until the late-1960s that Rolex introduced a Submariner Date model to sit alongside the no-date Submariner model. This continues through today with Rolex offering both no-date and date versions of the Submariner dive watch.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41210 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Submariner\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_116610_5D3_5355-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller vs Deepsea vs Submariner Dive watch\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_116610_5D3_5355-Edit-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_116610_5D3_5355-Edit-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_116610_5D3_5355-Edit-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_116610_5D3_5355-Edit-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_116610_5D3_5355-Edit-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rolex Sea-Dweller made its public debut in 1967 as a dive watch built specifically for professional deep-sea saturation divers and designed in collaboration with COMEX, a French commercial diving company. Saturation divers spend extended periods at greater depths by living in dry pressurized environments underwater, which can result in small helium molecules getting forced past the seals and trapped in their watches. Once the divers are ready to return to the surface, they have to undergo lengthy decompression phases in hyperbaric chambers. If helium is not released from a watch during decompression periods, the differences in external and internal pressure can cause the crystal to pop off. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rolex solved this problem by fitting the Sea-Dweller with a helium escape valve to allow gasses to expel automatically from the watch. Additionally, compared to the Submariner, which had a waterproof rating of 200 meters at that time, the 1967 Sea-Dweller was rated to dive down to 610 meters. Style-wise, the Rolex Sea-Dweller shared many details with the Submariner Date of the same era, including a stainless steel case, steel bracelet, black dial with a date window (but no Cyclops lens on the crystal), black rotating bezel, and luminous Mercedes-style hands and hour markers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41212 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2487-2-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller compare Deepsea versus Submariner\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2487-2-2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2487-2-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2487-2-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2487-2-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2487-2-2-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Deepsea is the newest Rolex dive watch to join the brand\u2019s catalog, first launched in 2008. Named after the \u201cDeep Sea Special\u201d prototype from the 1960s that reached a depth of 10,916 meters in the Mariana Trench, the Deepsea is Rolex\u2019s most extreme diving watch with an impressive water-resistance rating of 3,900 meters. This is possible thanks to the Deepsea\u2019s innovative Ring Lock System which includes a nitrogen-alloyed steel ring embedded in the middle case, a 5.5mm thick domed sapphire crystal, and a titanium caseback that can flex when necessary under extreme pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2014, Rolex introduced a D-Blue dial version of the Deepsea with a blue to back gradient colorway in honor of James Cameron\u2019s historic solo dive in the Deepsea Challenger o a depth of about 11,000 meters. For the purposes of this comparative review, we will focus on the traditional black dial version of the Rolex Deepsea, rather than the D-Blue variant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41214 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Deepsea\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Deepsea_116660-5D3_8720-2-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller vs Deepsea vs Submariner Diving watches Comparison guide\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Deepsea_116660-5D3_8720-2-Edit-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Deepsea_116660-5D3_8720-2-Edit-1-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Deepsea_116660-5D3_8720-2-Edit-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Deepsea_116660-5D3_8720-2-Edit-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Deepsea_116660-5D3_8720-2-Edit-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Deepsea_116660-5D3_8720-2-Edit-1-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Deepsea_116660-5D3_8720-2-Edit-1-380x380.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Submariner 116610LN vs. Sea-Dweller 126600 vs. Deepsea 126660<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Submariner ref. 116610LN, Sea-Dweller ref. 126600, and Deepsea ref. 126660 are all current production models.

First, the case dimensions; the Submariner 116610LN features a 40mm case, the Sea-Dweller 126600 a 43mm case, and the Deepsea 126660 a 44mm case. Also, in terms of thickness, the Submariner is the slimmest of the three (around 13mm), followed by the Sea-Dweller (around 15.5mm), and (as expected) the Deepsea is the thickest (around 17.7mm).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all three have similarly styled black dials, there are a few variances to note. The Sea-Dweller\u2019s name on the 126600 is not in white like the Submariner and the Deepsea, but in red\u2014recalling the first Double Red Sea-Dweller 1655 from 1967. Also, if we look closely at the face of the Deepsea, we see that the nitrogen-alloyed steel ring visible around the dial periphery, which includes \u201cRING LOCK SYSTEM\u201d and \u201cORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE\u201d text. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This brings us to the helium escape valve &#8211; the Submariner does not have one while both the Rolex Sea-Dweller and the Deepsea do. Plus, returning to the front view of the three watches, the Submariner 116610 and the Sea-Dweller 126600 both have a Cyclops magnification lens on the flat sapphire crystals above their date windows, while the extra-thick domed crystal on the Deepsea does not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41215 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 126600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Seadweller_126600_Rolex_Seadweller_116600_5D3_1130-2-Edit-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller vs Deepsea vs Submariner Comparison guide\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Seadweller_126600_Rolex_Seadweller_116600_5D3_1130-2-Edit-1-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Seadweller_126600_Rolex_Seadweller_116600_5D3_1130-2-Edit-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Seadweller_126600_Rolex_Seadweller_116600_5D3_1130-2-Edit-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Seadweller_126600_Rolex_Seadweller_116600_5D3_1130-2-Edit-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_Seadweller_126600_Rolex_Seadweller_116600_5D3_1130-2-Edit-1-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of performance, the Submariner is water-resistant to 300 meters, the Sea-Dweller to 1,220 meters, and the Deepsea to 3,900 meters. Because the Submariner 116610LN is the oldest reference of the three, introduced in 2010, it still runs Rolex&#8217;s Caliber 3135 movement, which offers a 48-hour power reserve. On the other hand, the newer Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 (launched in 2017) and the Deepsea 126660 (released in 2018) are powered by the new generation Caliber 3255 movement which offers users a 70-hour power reserve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, another difference worth mentioning across the Submariner, Sea-Dweller, and Deepsea, are the extension systems mounted into the clasps of their bracelets. The 116610, 126600, and 126660 all feature Oysterlock safety claps on their three-link Oyster bracelets that have the Glidelock extension system which permits divers to lengthen (or shorten) the bracelet in 2mm increments to a total of\u00a0about 20mm. However, the Rolex Sea-Dweller and the Deepsea also have the Fliplock extension link, which adds an additional 26mm in length to accommodate the thicker sleeves of dry suits and hot water suits that are often used for saturation diving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41208 size-full\" title=\"Submariner vs. Sea-Dweller vs. Deepsea\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Submariner-vs-Sea-Dweller-vs-Deep-Sea.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller vs Deepsea vs Submariner Comparison guide 116610 126600 126660\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Submariner-vs-Sea-Dweller-vs-Deep-Sea.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Submariner-vs-Sea-Dweller-vs-Deep-Sea-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Submariner-vs-Sea-Dweller-vs-Deep-Sea-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Submariner-vs-Sea-Dweller-vs-Deep-Sea-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Submariner-vs-Sea-Dweller-vs-Deep-Sea-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below is a quick breakdown of the main spec differences between Rolex Sea-Dweller vs. Deepsea vs. Submariner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rolex Submariner 116610LN<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Year Introduced:<\/strong> 2010<\/li>\n<li><strong>Case:<\/strong> Stainless steel; 40mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Movement:<\/strong> Cal. 3135; 48hr power reserve<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water Resistance:<\/strong> 300m<\/li>\n<li><strong>Helium Escape Valve<\/strong>: No<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cyclops Magnificiaon Lens:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clasp:<\/strong> Oysterlock with Glidelock extension system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Year Introduced:<\/strong> 2017<\/li>\n<li><strong>Case:<\/strong> Stainless steel; 43mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Movement:<\/strong> Cal. 3235; 70hr power reserve<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water Resistance:<\/strong>\u00a01,220m<\/li>\n<li><strong>Helium Escape Valve<\/strong>: Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cyclops Magnificiaon Lens:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clasp:<\/strong> Oysterlock with Glidelock and Fliplock extension systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Rolex Deepsea 126660<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Year Introduced:<\/strong> 2018<\/li>\n<li><strong>Case:<\/strong> Stainless steel; 44mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Movement:<\/strong> Cal. 3235; 70hr power reserve<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water Resistance:<\/strong>\u00a03,900m<\/li>\n<li><strong>Helium Escape Valve<\/strong>: Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cyclops Magnificiaon Lens:<\/strong>\u00a0No<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clasp:<\/strong> Oysterlock with Glidelock and Fliplock extension systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41213 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_5692-Edit-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller vs Submariner vs Deepsea Divers Compared\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_5692-Edit-2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_5692-Edit-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_5692-Edit-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_5692-Edit-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_5692-Edit-2-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rolex Sea-Dweller, Submariner, or Deepsea?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we\u2019ve outlined the similarities and differences between the current-production steel and ceramic Submariner, Sea-Dweller, and Deepsea models, which one is the best to get?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The industry-standard depth limit for recreational divers is 39 meters, which is well below the depth ratings of all three watches. However in reality, most Rolex diving watches are worn not because of their diving performance anymore but rather, for their distinct style, topnotch quality, and prestigious name. For all but the most serious of professional divers, who spend days at a time on the bottom of the ocean floor, the Submariner offers all the water resistance you will ever need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41211 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller 43mm\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2497-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sea-Dweller vs Deepsea vs Submariner Dive watch Comparison guide\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2497-2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2497-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2497-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2497-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_SeaDweller_5D3_2497-2-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another key point worth mulling over is the different movements that power these three Rolex watches &#8211; the Submariner runs on an older generation caliber with a lower power reserve compared to the newer movement of the Sea-Dweller and Deepsea.
