Rolex Sea-Dweller

The Rolex Sea-Dweller holds a special place in my heart and (hopefully) on my wrist.

This is mainly due to sharing the same birth year; 1967. I wish I looked this good after that length of time.

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the new Sea-Dweller is defined by a larger, 43 mm case and, for the first time, a Cyclops lens on the crystal at 3 o’clock to enhance the reading of the date. I also need help with my reading now so I agree with the upgrade.

The large Chromalight hour markers and hands allow readability in low-lit conditions; handy for restaurants and bedrooms.

A solid link Oyster bracelet, ceramic case and Cerachrom bezel make this model as timeless (?) and stylish as its predecessors.
