Rolex Sea-Dweller 43 126600 - Red SEA-DWELLER - Full Set (2017)

Released for the 50th anniversary of the Sea-Dweller line, the 126600 marked a major evolution with a 43mm Oystersteel case, the return of the iconic red SEA-DWELLER text, and the addition of a Cyclops lens over the date. This 2017 example is a launch-year piece, the first generation of the modern Sea-Dweller and a true successor to the original deep-diving Rolex tool watch.
