This is a Rolex Sea Dweller "James Cameron" 116660B Watch video review.
Today we’re here to talk about a watch that’s unique in Rolex’s line-up – the Deepsea D-Blue Reference 116660, also known as the James Cameron, which Rolex released in August of 2014.
This watch is unique because in 2012 Rolex worked with Cameron in support of his history-making voyage to the deepest part of the Pacific ocean in a custom, one-off submersible. I’ll talk about the links between the watch and the submersible in a minute
Dial
First, I want to talk about the D-Blue dial. It’s the first thing you notice about this watch besides the overall size. The dial gradually goes from a rich, almost royal blue at the top to a deep inky navy blue, nearly black, at the bottom. That’s the same way we perceive the ocean – beautiful blue at the top, inky black down deep.
The other thing you notice when you look at the watch’s dial is the green printing for ‘DEEPSEA.’ It’s not the typical Rolex green. Instead, it actually matches Cameron’s custom deep-sea submersible that he used to travel down into the Mariana trench. That was intentional, and it’s what makes this Rolex unique besides the gradient colored dial. Rolex has rarely if ever, produced a commercially available watch with such a feature.
And to wrap up the dial, of course, the hands are the instantly recognizable Mercedes hands, which are featured on all Rolex sports watches.
