Rolex Deep Submersible

The latest water ghost king! Two firsts of ROLEX Deepsea Challenge 126067: Titanium material, commercially available watch dives 11,000 meters deep

In the past, cheap watches for sale fans nicknamed the Rolex Submariner the “Water Ghost” and the 3,900-meter-water-resistant Deepsea the “Water Ghost King.” So should this watch be called the “Water Ghost Overlord” or the “Water Ghost King”? On the first day of November, Rolex released the mass-produced version of this Deepsea Challenge, model 126067-0001, with a diameter of 50 mm, a thickness of 23 mm, and a water resistance of 11,000 meters.

This watch contains two "firsts" of Rolex. It is Rolex's first titanium watch. The case and chain are made of Rolex's exclusive grade 5 titanium RLX titanium; The model with the highest waterproof depth of mass-produced watches on the market, with a waterproof depth of 11,000 meters (36,090 feet), which is nearly three times that of its own Deepsea.

The launch of such a watch, both in terms of volume and data, was stimulated by OMEGA’s Ultra Deep 6,000 meters at the beginning of the year? Or does it echo James Cameron's Avatar 2, which will be released at the end of the year, with the background of the underwater world? The prototype of the watch comes from the deep diving challenge of James Cameron diving into the Mariana Trench (Mariana Trench) on March 26, 2012. At that time, Rolex’s experimental cheap swiss watches Deepsea Challenge was fixed on the submarine’s mechanical arm and dived to 10,908 meters. (35,787 feet) deep sea, and dived under the sea for up to 7 hours, setting a single deep diving record, and this year happens to be the 10th anniversary of James Cameron's deep diving challenge.

Deepsea Challenge 126067 was the commercially available mass-produced model of the experimental watch at that time. The size of this big one was almost the same as a small pocket watch, and the wrist that could support it had to be quite heavy. Fortunately, both the case and the chain strap were made of Made of fully brushed RLX titanium, it is equipped with a helium escape valve and a patented case structure of the Ringlock system. According to foreign media reports, the weight of the watch is 251 grams, which is 30% lighter than the experimental stainless steel watch in 2012.

In order to resist the huge water pressure, the watch has assembled all the characteristic structures developed by Rolex in the field of diving watches, including the patented Ringlock system case structure, which enables the watch to withstand the huge water pressure in the deep sea; When the cabin is decompressed, this device can release the excess gas in the case and reduce the excessive pressure accumulated inside to avoid damage to the watch; the three-button lock crown has three sealing areas; the Chromalight luminous material on the hour markers and hands , which can emit a lasting blue light to ensure that the watch is clear and easy to read. The classic black dial of the diving watch is equipped with a unidirectional rotating 60-minute scale Cerachrom ceramic bezel, platinum-plated numbers and scales.Grand Seiko replica

The RLX titanium used in the watch is a grade 5 titanium material dedicated to Rolex, and it is also Rolex's first titanium watch, which is light, strong, and corrosion-resistant. The experimental watch that accompanied James Cameron deep into the Mariana Trench was made of 904L steel. Although it was not disturbed by the pressure of the deep sea, it was inconvenient to wear on the wrist due to its weight. The case and bracelet of the Deepsea Challenge watch are made of the new RLX titanium metal. The weight of the improved watch is significantly reduced, which is 30% lighter than the original experimental watch. In addition to the crown shoulder guard, the middle case and strap of this new watch are decorated with a clear and eye-catching frosted texture, and the edges of the lugs are polished.

The Ringlock system of the case is specially designed to resist the pressure of deep sea water. The reinforced case structure consists of three parts: including a domed sapphire crystal mirror with a thickness of 9.5 mm, a nitrogen alloy steel pressure ring, and an RLX titanium bottom cover . In addition, Rolex cooperated with Comex (Compagnie Maritime d'Expertises) to build a special hyperbaric chamber to test the waterproof performance of Deepsea Challenge watches. Each watch has undergone strict waterproof testing and testing according to diving watch standards. Increase the guaranteed depth by 25%, which means that the data in the laboratory can withstand the pressure equivalent to 13,750 meters (45,112 feet) underwater.Richard Mille replica

The case is equipped with a 3230 self-winding movement, which is equipped with several Rolex patented components such as the Chronergy escapement system, the Parachrom hairspring that is not disturbed by the magnetic field, and the Paraflex cushioning device. The power reserve is 70 hours. And like all Rolex watches, it has the top-level observatory precision timepiece certification, and the average error of the movement after the case is installed is within plus or minus two seconds per day.

The bottom cover of the case is engraved with the words "Mariana Trench" (Mariana Trench) and the two dates "23-01-1960" and "26-03-2012", in order to pay tribute to these two historic Mariana Trench. Tribute to Trench Diving Adventure. In 1960, oceanographer Jacques Piccard and U.S. Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh piloted the Trieste to set a deep diving record; and in 2012, James Cameron Driving the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER (DEEPSEA CHALLENGER) set a single deep diving record. Both expeditions were equipped with experimental Rolex replica watches for sale.

The RLX titanium chain is also equipped with a ROLEX Glidelock extension device and an Oyster folding buckle extension link, both of which can be easily adjusted without any tools. Thanks to the ingenious combination of the two extension systems, this watch Can be worn comfortably over wetsuits up to 7mm thick.

Recalling that Rolex has indeed continuously launched representative models in the field of diving watches. In 1953, the Submariner series was released. Model), equipped with a helium escape valve, waterproof to 610 meters (2,000 feet), later increased to 1,220 meters (4,000 feet). In 2008, the Rolex Deepsea (Rolex Deep Submersible) came out. It is specially designed to challenge the deep sea. It is equipped with the Ringlock system and can withstand pressure as deep as 3,900 meters (12,800 feet). Now the latest Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge is waterproof to a depth of 11,000 meters (36,090 feet), allowing you to dive into the deepest part of the ocean and break new ground.JACOB & CO ASTRONOMIA GAMBLER
