The Sea-Dweller wasn’t as popular as the Submariner when the collection debuted. Part of the reason was that it was viewed as more of an extreme dive watch. Collectors didn’t want to pay the premium for the Sea-Dweller over the Submariner, the latter of which had substantial water resistance in its own right. The Submariner in the 1960s boasted a 200-meter depth rating versus the Sea-Dweller with a 610-meter depth rating. Today, the collection lives in the shadows of the even more water-resistant Deepsea and its little brother, the Submariner, and is often looked over by the modern collector.
Justin argues that it’s an excellent option. It has similar aesthetics to the Submariner but the extra appeal of being a watch that not very many collectors have.
