COMEX

The French company COMEX (Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises) – a pioneer in saturation diving – let Rolex equip its divers with the Rolex Submariner. From 1963 onwards, the Rolex Sea-Dweller was the company’s dive watch of choice because of its innovative case with the helium escape valve and its waterproofing of up to 610 metres – or 2,000 feet, earning the watch the name Sea-Dweller 2000.
