Launched in 1967, the celebrated Sea-Dweller reference 1665 was the first wristwatch designed for use in saturation diving, fitted with a Rolex patent valve in the band and guaranteed waterproof to 610 meters depth. The valve was first developed on the Submariner model and allows helium and other gases to escape, enabling the watch to stand compression.
The original owner of this watch worked at International Harvester in Hamilton, Ontario, for 30 years. International Harvester is a United States manufacturer of agricultural machinery, construction equipment, trucks, automobiles, and household and commercial products. After being heavily influenced by watching James Bond films for years, he purchased this watch in 1976 for a total of $599.20. Enjoying it for decades, he wore it many times while scuba diving at various locations throughout Ontario, Canada.
The watch was then passed down to his son, who also wore the watch scuba diving at numerous dive sites throughout the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Seaway, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea to put it to the test. The watch has withstood some extremely grueling conditions. Then an esteemed firefighter, (here pictured graduating as a firefighter wearing the watch), it was with honor he wore the watch after the passing of his father to every significant occasion. Whether it was to a fire-call, to write licensing exams, to attend job interviews, or to travel various parts of the world, it was worn proudly.
More recently, the watch has been a part of the daily life of a Shift Control Technician at Bruce Power. It is the largest operating Nuclear facility in the world, located near the shores of Lake Huron in South Western Ontario, Canada. (Here pictured wearing the watch on the site of Bruce Power).
Offered complete with its Rolex Guarantee, original invoice, box and accessories, this is a treasure for any Rolex collector.
