Rolex Seadweller ref 16660 Rare Matte Dial circa 1982

SOLD

(Wire/check payment 3% DISCOUNT at checkout)

A fabulous and rare first generation “triple 6″ matte dial sapphire crystal Sea-Dweller circa 1982. We have had other great looking 16660 Seadwellers, but all with the 2nd generation gloss black dial with white gold surrounds. This is the first matte dial example we have had in years and it is a beauty!

With a beautiful condition first generation matte black dial with gently aged ivory color tritium lume plots and matching original tritium lume hands and a never polished case or bracelet. Though the Seadwellers were very much considered tool watches for professional divers and subject to hard use, this example has survived in remarkable condition in every respect. Featuring an especially beefy lug case with evidence of the original factory finish and free of gouges, dings, or deep scratches one might otherwise expect. The case back is clean and unmarred and undamaged from improper opening. 

The elapsed time bezel appears to be original and shows only light surface scratches. The pearl has patina’d an especially rich tan color. With correct and original excellent condition 93160 bracelet with solid 592 end links, flip lock clasp, and matching G date code.

Powered by self winding caliber 3035 movement with sweep seconds and quick set date. Recently serviced and pressure tested for water resistance. Offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation.

Your purchase includes our signature fine leather pouch, ideal for travel or storage, a $65.00 retail value.
