BREAKING: Rolex just showed the highly anticipated novelty on their website and Facebook page: the Rolex Deepsea D-Blue Dial. Earlier tonight we’ve seen the first leaked photo of this Deepsea with a blue to black gradient dial. First reactions of forums were not really positive, to put it mildly. No new case and bracelet material, the new Rolex Deepsea D-Blue Dial is a normal Deepsea ref. 116660 with the known black Cerachrom bezel, blue Chromalight luminescence and a different dial.
The new Deepsea is a tribute to James Cameron’s historic solo dive to the deepest point in the ocean. As Rolex state themselves say, the dial shows a deep blue to pitch-black gradient that is “reminiscent of the ocean’s twilight zone, where the last trickle of light from the surface disappears into the abyss.” The word “DEEPSEA” on the new dial has the very same colour as the green submersible in which James Cameron dove to a staggering depth of 10,908 metres, the deepest point on our planet.
Unconfirmed messages state the retail price will be € 10.150 Euros.
Check the Rolex website here for more info about the Rolex Deepsea. We’ll update this article once we had a good night rest. For now we leave you with some more imagines and we’re looking forward to reading your responses!
