The Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea is equipped with a Ringlock System, a new case architecture patented by Rolex, which allows the watch to withstand a colossal 2.98 metric tonnes of water pressure. During deep dives lasting several days, the helium molecules spread throughout all the matter and penetrate the watch in sufficient quantity to push out the sapphire crystal at atmospheric pressure levels. The helium escape valve of the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea prevents this from happening. The valve is used by divers to release helium from their watch while they rise up to the water's surface.
