One of the coolest dive watches ever made back in 1953 apparently was a two tone model

Nice, it's the story of the Deepsea, went down to the Mariana trench in 1960 (TRIESTE)

This is actually an old article, but thanks for posting! This is exactly the reason why I got my DSC, which is a descendent of this amazing line of watches!

Wow. Those are AMAZING

And there is still many who say two tone watches can’t be tool watches.

A great piece of Rolex' history.

By the way, the record set by the two-tone Deep Sea Special No. 3 is unbeaten to this day: 10,916 m / 35,815 ft (Jan 1960, Piccard and Walsh, inside the Trieste).

The stainless steel Sea-Dweller Deep Sea Challenge reached 10,908 m / 35,787 ft (March 2012, James Cameron, inside the Challenger Deep).
