New for 2017, the 50th anniversary Rolex Sea Dweller 126600 marked the return of the famed "Red Sea Dweller" to the Rolex catalog. Water resistant to 1220 meters and equipped with the Sea Dweller's signature helium gas release valve, this is a luxury dive watch for the 21st century that pays tribute to the finest Rolex sports watches of the 20th century. A unidirectional diving bezel with Cerachrom ceramic insert allows easy tracking of time while resolutely resisting scratches.
Rolex fits an automatic caliber 3235 to the Sea Dweller. This mechanical movement features a 3 day power reserve (roughly 70 hours), hacking or "stop seconds" for precise setting, an a quick set date mechanism with Rolex cyclops eye magnifier.
Each Rolex Sea Dweller 43mm includes a stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet and diving clasp with both glidelock for incremental sizing an fliplock for full extension over a diving suit.
The Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver SBGA229 was launched as the SBGA029 in 2008 and refreshed with a new "Grand Seiko" exclusive dial for 2017. This 44mm stainless steel luxury dive watch includes a full stainless steel diving clasp with incremental extension for use over a diving suit, and the SBGA229 is rate water resistant to 200 meters.
Inside its Zaratsu polished steel case, the Grand Seiko Spring Drive caliber 9R65 spins away with quartz watch precision and mechanical watch soul. This unique caliber is accurate to +/-15 seconds per month, and it teams automatic winding with a three day (72 hour) power reserve. A 30 jewel caliber built by a Grand Seiko watchmaker, the Spring Drive system's visual hallmark is the uninterrupted smooth sweep of its second hand. A power reserve indicator on the dial ensures that the owner will not take the plunge while low on mainspring energy.
