"Sea-Dweller" removed from the Deepsea dial
Just noticed Rolex removed a line of text from the Deepseas. Interesting

Yup, it makes sense to give the Deepsea it's own model line considering they axed the YMII. Deepsea is taking over that spot.

Is the dial a flat blue, or sunburst?

I like it.
I wish they get rid of the “officially certified” line as well. |

All Swiss certified chronometer watches must have this on the dial as it is one of the rules of the Swiss COSC test.

I'm all for one less line of text, but at the same time I do enjoy being part of the Sea-Dweller line.
Truth be told after 5 years of ownership, I forgot what mine actually said and how it was oriented, had to look. Kind of like the ring lock text, I remember it is there when I read people online complain about it. |

Deepsea Challenge, which is part of the Deepsea model line, still carries the sea-dweller name on the dial.

Well it's an Oyster case, and Perpetual (auto) movement with Date function. That verbiage goes back to the 1920s/30s/40s so is part of the heritage of the company and links most models, past and present.

Been joking with the AD for years about a full PM DeepSea.
Unbelievable. What a beautiful chunk of star debris. |

Said differently, it appears to me that including “Oyster Perpetual Date” is a legacy/antiquated marketing tactic that doesn’t have the same impact today. Opinions could vary on this though. |
