2006 Rolex Sea-Dweller Watch 16600T Black Dial 40mm Oyster Band Wristwatch S.S.

Watch Overview

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea-Dweller Ref. 16600T, produced in 2006, is a professional-grade diver’s watch built for precision and durability. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case with a screw-down crown and case back, it features a unidirectional rotating bezel, sapphire crystal, and helium escape valve, making it suitable for deep-sea exploration.

The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135, a self-winding movement with 31 jewels, hacking seconds, and a quick-set date function. As a certified Swiss chronometer, it is adjusted for accuracy in five positions and temperature. The movement delivers a 48-hour power reserve and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The black dial is designed for optimal legibility, featuring luminous applied hour markers, a white minute/second track, and luminous hands. The date display is located at 3 o’clock.

This Sea-Dweller is fitted with a stainless steel Oyster bracelet (Ref. 93160A) that accommodates wrists up to 7.5 inches (19.1 cm). The watch is in very good pre-owned condition, showing some wear consistent with use, while the case, bezel, dial, and bracelet remain well-preserved. Fully inspected and authenticated by our in-house watchmaker, it is running accurately and ready to wear.

History & Legacy of Rolex

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date is a classic timepiece that blends the iconic elements of Rolex innovation—precision, durability, and timeless design. Introduced in the mid-1950s, the model evolved alongside Rolex’s major advancements, including the introduction of the waterproof Oyster case in 1926 and the self-winding “Perpetual” rotor movement patented in 1931. The Date series shares DNA with the famed Datejust, offering the signature date window at 3 o’clock with the Cyclops magnifying lens, first introduced in 1953. Over the decades, Rolex continually improved the collection with upgraded calibers, quickset functionality, sapphire crystals, and evolving luminous materials—from tritium to Luminova, Super-Luminova, and ultimately Chromalight. Robust yet refined, the Oyster Perpetual Date remains a versatile choice for those seeking understated elegance with everyday functionality, embodying Rolex’s heritage of mechanical excellence and design innovation.
