The Rolex Deepsea reference 126660 represents the refined second-generation evolution of the legendary deep-sea timepiece, renowned among collectors for its perfected case-to-bracelet proportions. While retaining the authoritative 44mm case diameter and the revolutionary Ringlock System architecture, the reference 126660 introduces a wider 22mm lug spacing and a broader Oyster bracelet that distributes case heft more evenly across the wrist. The deep black dial provides peerless contrast against white gold framed hour markers, glowing vivid blue in the dark via long-lasting Chromalight luminescence.
The case is precision-machined from solid Oystersteel, featuring an integrated helium escape valve at 9 o'clock and a Ringlock compression ring along the inner perimeter. The unidirectional rotating bezel carries a scratch-resistant black Cerachrom ceramic insert, engraved with 60-minute graduations coated in platinum tone. Overhead, an ultra-thick 5.5mm domed sapphire crystal provides exceptional pressure resilience and glare-free legibility.
Driving the hands is a high-grade automatic self-winding mechanical caliber running at a smooth 28,800 vph. Equipped with an instantaneous date mechanism that transitions cleanly at midnight, the movement offers dependable precision and solid power reserve supported by a bidirectional winding rotor. The Triplock winding crown engages securely with clear tactile feedback across all three adjustment positions.
The redesigned Oyster bracelet features solid links with satin brushing and polished outer chamfers, paired with a redesigned Oysterlock safety clasp that sits flush and secure. The integrated Glidelock extension mechanism allows on-the-fly adjustment for optimal comfort. Fully calibrated on our Weishi timegrapher prior to dispatch, each watch arrives with insured express delivery and a 24-month warranty.
