	The 16600 is the long-run Sea-Dweller. Twenty years of continuous production from 1989 through 2008, more than any other Sea-Dweller reference, and no immediate successor: when the 16600 ended, the larger Deepsea 116660 took the family forward and the 40mm slot stayed empty until the 116600 reissue in 2014. The case is the one the 16660 established, with the same sapphire crystal, same unidirectional bezel, same 1220-metre depth rating, same helium escape valve at 9 o'clock. The change is at the centre of the watch. The caliber 3135 replaces the 3035, and the dial moves through four canonical mark generations that track three decades of Rolex luminous chemistry from tritium to Luminova to Super-LumiNova. The 16600 is also the last Sea-Dweller with an aluminum bezel insert and the last to wear tritium. The 116600 that follows breaks both threads.		The 16600 is the long-run Sea-Dweller.
