The Sea-Dweller ref. 126603 was just unveiled at Baselworld 2019, and represents the first time that a Sea Dweller model has been offered in 904L Oystersteel and 18 karat yellow gold: a two-tone construction. This nexus of function and luxury sets this model apart from its Submariner brethren with its remarkable depth rating of 1,220 meters/4,000 feet - a water resistance that is achieved through the addition of a helium gas escape valve, enabling the watch to be used for saturation diving. The Ref. 126603 maintains a similar feature set as its all-steel counterpart in the form of a 43 mm case, a Caliber 3235 movement, a “Maxi” dial topped with a Chromalight display, and a Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert.
This example is in excellent unworn condition, with original factory case protection, and is accompanied by its original guarantee card as well as its full suite of accessories.
