The Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller



Without a doubt, the replicaRolex Sea-Dweller is one of my favorite watches of all time. It represents everything I look for in a watch of this sort: simplicity, quality, functionality, and stark beauty.

The Sea-Dweller is one of the less common BaselWorld Rolex replica watch sport models. While the Submariner is produced in several combinations of materials and colors, there is only one Sea-Dweller. It is only available in all stainless steel, and only with a black dial and black bezel. Replica Rolex designed the Sea-Dweller purely as a dive tool — not a fashion accessory.

Features of the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller:

Guaranteed waterproof to 1,200 meters, or 4,000 feet (that's significantly higher than the 1,000 foot rating of the Submariner).

40mm stainless steel case which sits 14.5mm high.

Ultra-thick synthetic sapphire crystal.

Unidirectional rotating bezel with a corrosion resistant anodized aluminum insert.

No date magnifier. I don't mind the "cyclops" on my Explorer II, but I prefer the cleaner look of the Sea-Dweller.

Helium escape valve. Developed in cooperation with the French industrial diving company, Comex, the helium escape valve allows helium molecules to safely escape without popping the crystal off the watch during decompression (I told you this is a hardcore dive tool).

Dive extension. The dive extension on the Sea-Dweller is actually nothing to write home about, but it's sufficient. This is one of the biggest improvements of the new Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA.

Triplock screwdown crown. The Triplock system uses an additional rubber gasket (clearly visible when the crown is unscrewed) beyond the Twinlock system used on many other replica Rolex sport models like the old GMT Master II and the Explorer II. The crown threads beautifully, and feels incredibly robust and secure.
Quick-change and quick-set date. Quick-change means that the date changes over to the next day instantly almost exactly at midnight (as opposed to changing gradually over the course of several minutes before and after midnight). Quick-set means that you can set the date while the crown is pulled out to the second position rather than having to change the time in order to change the date.
Some other interesting facts about the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller, and Rolex in general:

The Sea-Dweller is the only replica Rolex with a date, but without the date magnifier. This accounts for a lot of its popularity as many people love Rolex watches, but aren't crazy about the "bubble".


The Sea-Dweller is the only replica Rolex with writing on the caseback. It says "ROLEX OYSTER" and "ORIGINAL ESCAPE VALVE". The new Sea-Dweller,Rolex deepsea challenge replica seems to take all this writing, and put it on the front of the watch, creating a much busier face.
The additional thickness of the Sea-Dweller's case beyond that of the Submariner is to accommodate the helium escape valve.

The bulbous shape of the hour hand which replica Rolex uses on many of their sport models allows it to be seen while directly under the minute hand. This may seem like an unnecessary detail, but it's actually a great, widely copied, and under appreciated design. It also makes the hour hand more easily distinguishable in low light.

This extraordinarily beautiful watch is being discontinued. It is being replaced by the admittedly interesting, but very different Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA. I can promise you that there will always be a market for the "old" Sea-Dwellers, however. They were classics even before being discontinued.

Most, if not all, modern replica Rolexes have the replica Rolex coronet etched on the inside of the crystal at the 6 o'clock position. If you're buying from anyone other than an authorized retailer, make sure you can see the etching before you buy it.


Replica Rolex is one of the few remaining high quality Swiss made replica watchmakers who still makes their own movements. Most brands purchase either movements, or movement kits, from companies like ETA. Rolex, however, designs and builds everything but a few oils themselves.

Replica Rolex is a privately held company which donates a great deal of it's profits to charity. I think of replica Rolex as the Robin Hood of the watch world: take from those who can afford it, and give to those who cannot.
