The Sea-Dweller was made to commemorate James Cameron’s 2012 Deepsea Challenger Expedition, in which he piloted a submarine designed to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench’s Challenger Deep, the deepest known point of the ocean. The reference 116660, originally released in 2014, was a general release based off of a similar watch Cameron wore during the exhibition. Housing a 3235 automatic caliber movement in a 44mm diameter case, and measuring almost 18 mm in thickness, the Deepsea is not a subtle watch on the wrist. While it probably won’t fit under a cuff, it can go to the depths of the sea and withstand the intense pressure of the ocean floor. With an official depth rating of 3,900 meters, the watch can certainly withstand daily wear on land.
This lot comes with many of its original stickers and all the necessary accompaniments for a collector. It is the ultimate tool watch.
