Rolex played a remarkable role in the development of the dive watch. In 1926, Rolex successfully invented the first waterproof watch - Rolex Oyster watch in the world. Thanks to its winding crown, bezel, and case back that could be screwed down against the middle case. These watches were not only waterproof but also dustproof, and were hermetically sealed, thusly named by Rolex “Oyster”.
One year later, it has proved the excellent waterproof performance for the people around the world. Mercedes Gleitze worn this Rolex watch to swim across the English Channel, and the watch time was still accurate after she swam for more than ten hours, and this lady has become the first Rolex brand spokesman and the eyewitness of the Rolex super quality. Since then, the Rolex Oyster and the patented oyster case design gained public recognition.
In 1953, Rolex invented one of the first and earliest divers watches in the world-the Rolex Submariner, which could withstand pressure to a depth of 100 m (330 ft). It can be said that the Rolex Submariner is probably the best-known dive watch, and not only for being worn by James Bond(The first Bond actor, Sean Connery, was wearing a Rolex Submariner in the first Bond movie called Dr. No, released in 1962). Today Rolex Submariner replica has reached 300 meters when we talk about the anti-water depth, which can protect high-precision caliber from water, dust, pressure and collision.
Furthermore, the Sea-Dweller and its more expensive sister model, the Rolex Deepsea, are every bit as precise and reliable as the Submariner. Rolex launched the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller in 1967 which is the ultimate divers watch collection. In 2008, Rolex released the world famous Rolex Deep Sea, which is a divers watch for extreme underwater activities. Undoubtedly, Rolex Sea Dweller replica is the king of the divers watches for its outstanding waterproof depth of 3900 meters.
