The result of years of experimentation and engineering, the Deepsea features a Helium Escape Valve and Ringlock system architecture that improves its depth rating significantly as compared to previous models. It has a domed sapphire crystal that is 5.5 mm thick with no cyclops magnifying lens. A Triplock crown keeps the water from entering the case, ensuring a secure seal.
In 2014, Rolex released this model with a unique D-Blue dial, featuring a blue gradient on the dial to commemorate the historic Deepsea Challenge of 2012. This model also features a unique chartreuse DEEPSEA insignia on the dial, the same color as the submersible used in the challenge.
