Rolex Deepsea Challenge 126067 - Specifications, Prices and Owners' Reviews

The Deepsea Challenge is a collector's item representing what Rolex technically does best in terms of diving watches and yet it seems useless as it is disproportionate. It is also a tribute to James Cameron's dive in 2012 when he went down alone to 10,898 meters deep in the Mariana Islands (Pacific) in the Deepsea Challenge, a 7m3 and 11T8 submarine with the support of Rolex which positioned on an arm, a Deepsea Challenge steel 12000 (2h36 of descent and after a few hours spent in the abyss to take some samples of the underwater nature, the ascent lasted 70mn) a solo record had just been set. This commemorative piece released in November 2022 is made of grade 5 titanium for 250g compared to 211g for a 44mm Deepsea (which reduces its weight by 30% compared to the steel version used in 2012), this makes it the first piece produced by Rolex entirely in titanium, it is equipped with the mvt 3230 for 70 hours of power reserve, its diameter of 50mm makes it an extraordinary watch that is difficult to wear by ordinary mortals. As a collector, it is a real pleasure to own such a piece and to be able to compare it to the Sub, SD and deepsea.
