The Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea "James Cameron" 116660 is one of the most imposing and technically capable dive watches Rolex has ever built. It was inspired by director and explorer James Cameron's record-breaking solo descent to the Challenger Deep. The gradient D-Blue dial shifts from deep black to vivid ocean blue, echoing the descent into the abyss.

This example has a custom blue ceramic bezel, in the style of the one on the white gold Submariner "Smurf". It gives the watch a different look from the standard black-bezel configuration and makes the blue gradient dial stand out even more.
