Deepsea Challenge
The ultimate divers’ watch
Inspired by the experimental watch that James Cameron took on his 10,908-metre (35,787 feet) descent to the Mariana Trench in 2012, the Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge pushes the limits of innovation and resists abyssal pressure. It represents the epitome of Rolex’s long experience and know-how in the realm of divers’ watches.
RLX titanium is a grade 5 titanium alloy selected by Rolex for its robustness, lightness and extreme resistance to deformation and corrosion.
The Deepsea Challenge benefits from the Ringlock system, an innovative case architecture that gives the Oyster case increased resistance to pressure in the ocean depths.
Exclusive to Rolex and patented in 1967, the helium escape valve that equips the Deepsea Challenge is a major invention for saturation diving.
The Deepsea Challenge is equipped with the Triplock winding crown. This helps guarantee the waterproofness of its Oyster case to a depth of 11,000 metres (36,090 feet).
A key feature of Rolex divers’ watches, the bezel is fitted with a graduated Cerachrom bezel insert, an essential technical element that allows divers to accurately read their time spent underwater.
The Chromalight display gives the Deepsea Challenge optimal legibility in any circumstances.
The Deepsea Challenge’s Oyster bracelet is equipped with the Oysterlock clasp. Exclusive to Rolex Professional watches and patented, it ensures both a secure fastening and easy handling, even underwater.
The Deepsea Challenge is powered by calibre 3230. A consummate demonstration of various technologies, this self-winding mechanical movement is entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex.
