Reference 116660 represents one of Rolex's most capable dive watches, rated to 3,900 meters (12,800 feet) of water resistance. This example has received an aftermarket matte black PVD coating applied to the stainless steel case and three-piece solid-link Oyster bracelet, giving the watch a uniform dark presence that sets it apart from standard production pieces. A titanium case back and screw-down Triplelock winding crown round out the construction.
The technical specification remains fully intact. A unidirectional rotatable Cerachrom bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and helium escape valve preserve the watch's deep-dive credentials. The black dial features Chromalight luminescent index markers and Mercedes hands, while the date function appears at three o'clock. Power comes from the self-winding Rolex Calibre 3135, offering approximately 48 hours of power reserve. The Folding Oysterlock safety clasp includes a Glidelock extension system for sizing over a wetsuit.
Offered in pre-owned, excellent condition, this piece carries an aftermarket custom PVD coating as noted. It is presented as a modified sports watch for buyers drawn to a purposeful, blacked-out aesthetic on a proven Rolex platform.
