The Rolex Deepsea reference 116660-BLUE is the celebrated first-generation release of the "James Cameron" D-Blue edition, introduced to immortalize the deep-sea exploration of the Mariana Trench. Anchored by a substantial 44mm Oystersteel case and an impressive 17.7mm depth, this reference is revered by horology enthusiasts for its historic status and uncompromising mechanical construction. The gradient dial exhibits a mesmerizing color shift from vivid twilight blue down to inky black, paying artistic tribute to the ocean's sunlit surface descending into eternal darkness.
The watch is built around Rolex's Ringlock System, incorporating an inner nitrogen-alloyed steel compression ring visible along the inner bezel wall, paired with a lightweight Grade 5 titanium caseback that conforms comfortably to wrist heat. The 60-minute unidirectional Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert delivers crisp, authoritative 120-click rotation, debossed with platinum-filled numerals that resist wear and fading. A 5.5mm domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the left case flank features an automatic helium escape valve.
A robust automatic mechanical movement powers the hands with a steady 28,800 beats per hour sweep. The bidirectional rotor charges the mainspring with silent efficiency during daily movement, offering dependable power reserve and consistent amplitude. The date calendar at 3 o'clock advances instantaneously at midnight with rapid quickset adjustment via the screw-down Triplock crown.
Complementing the substantial case is a 21mm solid Oystersteel bracelet with brushed finishing. The Oysterlock deployment clasp houses the Glidelock sliding mechanism, allowing fine adjustments without tools for an exact wrist contour. Individually inspected, timegrapher regulated, and delivered with full transit insurance, this model is supported by our 24-month international mechanical warranty.
