A sturdy case, well-designed dial and chunky bracelet inject aesthetical interest, while the unidirectional bezel, water resistance and COSC-certified movement elevate functional impact and performance. This is Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600, introduced in 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this iconic collection. It is a beast of a timepiece that serves as a reliable companion day in & day out.

A lot of design characteristics akin to the previous and Deepsea versions echo the signature, recognisable style of the collection like the black unidirectional Cerachrom bezel, luminous markers and hands, and a discreet helium escape valve at 9. But on the other hand, there are also details that are unique to this reference, adding a refreshing twist. We’ll start with the 43 mm case which is quite big in comparison to any Sea-Dweller we’ve ever come across (Deepsea excluded). To let this sizable Oystersteel case fit better on the wrist, it has been constructed with more subtle curves and angles.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
