Among the most notable missions were the pioneering ones by the United States Navy, which tested underwater habitats in the heart of the ocean. At the same time, deep-sea divers, such as those from the French company Compagnie Maritime d&#039;Expertise (known as Comex), who were already working with Rolex, began to demand watches with superior water resistance needed for complex maritime operations, such as the maintenance of underwater drilling rigs, which tend to be located at extraordinary depths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this context, Rolex, with the support of these leading organizations in the field, began to develop watches that could withstand deep saturation dives and the extreme conditions of underwater habitats, where a pressurized mixture of helium and oxygen was used for breathing. The name chosen for the new model was \u201cSea-Dweller\u201d, which in Italian means \u201cDweller of the Sea\u201d, a clear reference to the aquanauts involved in the development of the model, who attempted to \u201cinhabit\u201d the depths of the sea. Only after obtaining positive results during the missions with partners, Rolex decided to present the model globally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first production phase of the model, Rolex did not use an exclusive case, but used a \u201cclassic\u201d Submariner case, probably that of the references 5513\/5514. This case, thinner than the subsequent one (called \u201cthick\u201d), is known by collectors as the \u201cthin case\u201d or, in Italian, \u201ccassa bassa\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This rare and preserved example features both the \u201clow case\u201d and the double red writing (MK2 dial) and, furthermore, by turning the watch on its side, another peculiarity can be appreciated: the correct \u201csuper doomed\u201d glass, a feature very dear to enthusiasts of the model and an exclusive, once again, of the first productions (the subsequent glass will be less domed).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This <strong>Rolex Sea-Dweller<\/strong> second pulse reference <strong>1665<\/strong> boasts the following features:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thin Case<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatent Pending\u201d Bracelet<\/p>\n<p>MK2 Dial Double Red Writing<\/p>\n<p>Excellent conditions<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This second hand vintage watch<strong> Rolex Sea-Dweller<\/strong> reference <strong>1665<\/strong> it is on sale at our DEANGELIS Boutique in Milan<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>RX606<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":9290,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[28,182],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-9289","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-orologi","7":"product_cat-shop","8":"pa_case-material-stainless-steel-thin-case","9":"pa_case-size-40-mm","10":"pa_glass-plexiglass-domed","11":"pa_model-sea-dweller-double-red-writing","12":"pa_movement-mechanical-automatic","13":"pa_reference-179","14":"pa_strap-bracelet-material-stainless-steel-oyster-folded-bracelet-patent-pendig","15":"pa_year-2-276","17":"first","18":"instock","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maurideangelis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/9289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maurideangelis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maurideangelis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maurideangelis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maurideangelis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maurideangelis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=9289"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maurideangelis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=9289"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maurideangelis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=9289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
