The Rolex Deepsea Challenge timepiece is built with the needs of avid divers in mind to help them explore without having to worry about their accessories.
The watch is constructed with an all-titanium body that hides the Ringlock system within, which is the secret to the timepiece's ability to withstand underwater pressure. The watch is rated for waterproofness up to 36,090-feet, which is more than 200-feet deeper than the Rolex Deep Sea Special.
The Rolex Deepsea Challenge timepiece weighs in at 251-grams to make it 40% than what it might otherwise weigh if crafted out of steel. The watch is priced at $26,000 and is accented by several of the design accents avid Rolex collectors have come to expect. The timepiece is available now.
