As the first mass-produced watch with a waterproof depth of 11,000 meters, the Rolex Deep Sea Challenge demonstrates Rolex’s technical strength and status in the field of diving watches. It broke through the 3900-meter waterproof limit of the deep-diving model, and raised the waterproof record of watches on sale to more than 10,000 meters.
Water resistance has always been Rolex's specialty. Rolex's waterproof technology can be traced back to the Oyster case in 1926. Oyster (oyster) means a strong shell and can be submerged in water for a long time. After years of development, the Oyster case has now become one of the core technologies of Rolex, and is still used by many products on sale. This is why Rolex professional watches are named after a certain type of Oyster Perpetual. Best cheap watches online, discover our affordable replica Rolex watches collection.

Another difference between the new product and previous Rolex watches is the use of a grade 5 titanium case. Due to its lightness and corrosion resistance, titanium has become more and more popular in famous watches, especially diving watches, in recent years. Although Rolex has previously used titanium on the bottom cover of the "Ghost King" deep dive model, the main material of the case is still Oystersteel.
On the other hand, last year, foreign media exposed that British male sailing athlete Ben Ainslie wore a special titanium Yacht-Master watch. Considering the special relationship between Ben Ainslie and Rolex, many people thought it was an indirect "official watch" of the brand. Announced this product. But later it turned out that it was just wishful thinking of the cousins, and Rolex did not mass-produce it. The Deep Sea Challenge released today is Rolex’s first mass-produced titanium watch, which may also indicate that Rolex will launch more titanium watches in the future.
The launch of the new Deep Sea Challenge has enriched and improved the product line of Rolex diving watches. Rolex diving watches are divided into four types according to the water resistance level from low to high. From 41 mm to 50 mm, from 300 meters to 11,000 meters, Rolex diving watches have completed all-round coverage of different diameters and different waterproof levels: the first generation of the basic Submariner (Water Ghost) was released in 1953 and was the first A diver's watch water-resistant to 100 meters.
