Reference:116600: Difference between revisions

}}

The 116600 is a three-year reissue. Rolex unveiled it at Baselworld 2014, sold it through 2017, and replaced it at Baselworld 2017 with the 126600, the 50th-anniversary Sea-Dweller with the red dial text and the larger case. Six years had elapsed since the 116660 Deepsea moved the Sea-Dweller line to 44mm in 2008, and the 116600 walked the reference back to 40mm — the same Oyster diameter the 16660 and 16600 established, the same 1220-metre depth rating, the same helium escape valve at 9 o'clock. The changes sat elsewhere. A Cerachrom ceramic bezel replaced aluminum, the Parachrom Blu hairspring replaced the standard 3135 spring, Chromalight replaced Super-LumiNova, and a Maxi dial brought enlarged applied indices. The "Sea-Dweller 4000" marketing name carried over from the 16660 and 16600 even though "4000" never appeared on the 116600's dial. Three years of production with no mark generations makes it one of the shortest runs of any modern Rolex sport reference, and the last 40mm Sea-Dweller before the 126600 took the line to 43mm.
