SHARP WATCH
Creating a watch that can withstand the immense pressure found at nearly four kilometres below sea level is far from easy, but Rolex — a company that created the world’s first waterproof watch, the Oyster — has been working on it since the 1920s. Thanks to a middle case crafted from a solid block of corrosion-resistant Oystersteel, a proprietary hermetically sealed case back, and the patented Ringlock System, the 2022 DeepSea is guaranteed waterproof to 3,900 metres, an incredible achieve- ment by any measure. Its “D-blue” gradient dial, meanwhile, is a subtle tribute to James Cameron’s historic 2012 Deepsea Challenge dive. $16,800
