The addition of the helium escape valve (HEV) and successively better technology has resulted in watches capable of withstanding thousands of meters of depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA big brother to the iconic Submariner, the Sea-Dweller is, thicker, meaner, and deeper in every way. It was also the first model to feature a Helium Escape Valve fitted to a commercially-available Rolex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea-Dwellers did however, retain one shared dimension as the Submariner for decades: its diameter.
