This reference reintroduced several classic Sea-Dweller design elements, distinguishing it from its larger contemporary, the Sea-Dweller 4000. It was produced for a relatively short period, making it a notable transitional model within the brand's professional tool watch offerings.
This reference features a stainless steel case measuring 40mm in diameter and 15.3mm in thickness. It is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel made of black ceramic with a 60-minute graduation. The watch is powered by the automatic caliber 3135, offering a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. A sapphire crystal protects the black dial, which includes a date complication without the cyclops lens, a characteristic feature of the Sea-Dweller line.
Appealing to collectors who appreciate traditional proportions and the technical capabilities of a professional dive watch, the 116600 is recognized for its blend of heritage design and modern materials. Its limited production run contributes to its appeal among enthusiasts seeking a Sea-Dweller with a more classic case size and specific aesthetic details, such as the matte-like black dial and the absence of the cyclops over the date.
For once.... In the modern Rolex World. Best, Nicolas.

....but.... people of "the lake" are beginning to scare me!!! LOL
Well done Rolex! Can't wait to learn the results and watch the video from the exploration by Mr. Cameron. Thanks for sharing it with us, Imran. Best, Alex
The PAM 341 look like a relic compare to this. I don't see the point on the practical side but contest like this is always interesting to watch. Thanks Imran Regards Tyler
