Rolex Deepsea Challenge - A decade on with James Cameron

  • Ten years ago, on 26 March 2012, Rolex Testimonee James Cameron made history as the first person to dive solo to the deepest part of the Earth, the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench, at 10,908 metres (35,787 feet). This record-breaking feat aboard the specially built DEEPSEA CHALLENGER followed on from the 1960 voyage of the bathyscaphe Trieste, which similarly mined the waters thousands of metres below the surface and on which Rolex was also present. Cameron’s 2012 expedition shed new light on the underwater realm as valuable samples were collected that helped pave the way for further scientific research. Strapped to the exterior of the submersible was the Rolex Deepsea Challenge, an experimental watch designed for the occasion. It was keeping perfect time when Cameron returned to the surface seven hours later. On the 10-year anniversary of the expedition, the filmmaker and explorer reflected on his journey to the bottom of the sea. The story of Rolex and the deep continues. Discover more on.rolex.org/3...

    His name is James (James) Cameron!
    Explorer of the sea!
    No budget too steep
    No sea too deep.
    Could it be?
    Yeah that's him!
    JAMES CAMERON

    I was watching some funny videos earlier, I’m extremely high right now- I have no idea how nor why I have come to see this video playing on my phone but I just watched the entire thing. I hadn’t realized this was a video for a Watch up until about the last 30 seconds of the video

    My first encounter with a Rolex watch was 50 years ago, and it was on my dad’s wrist. My father explained to me why this watch was so special. Fifty years later I was able to purchase my first Rolex Oystersteel and yellow gold Sea-Dweller. I’m very proud to have this watch on my wrist, and I wear it every day. I was so impressed with it I ordered the Rolex Deepsea from the same authorized dealer. Only to find out that my chances of getting it are very slim because of shortages. I hope one day it will also be on my wrist.

    Hi James, if you get to read this, can you please search for my father's ship the MS Rangitane (owned by the Zealand shipping company)...it was attacked and sunk by two German raiders, (Komet & Orion) on 27 November 1940, 300 miles east of New Zealand. He and the crew were rescued but then spent the duration of the war as POWs.
    My father was bitterly disappointed he wasn't given the time to retrieve his prized possession from his cabin...A Rolex watch!
    A location search and retrieval of said watch would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I understand the workmanship and beauty of high end watches. But since it's designed to be worn on the human wrist, surviving such intense pressure is pointless. As far as usability goes a $9.96 usd Casio worn on his wrist would also have worked through the entire dive and the Casio has multiple timers. Just saying.

    The first watch I tried on in St. Thomas U.S.V.I. was a Rolex stainless dark face diving watch. I of course went for visual appeal and I remember even today how it felt. I was smitten. I am sure I must had been a watch maker in another life due to I loved watches, clocks, and dark beer. No one in my family wore a watch. No clocks on the wall. It felt heavy but in a not intrusive way. I am all girl, but at times a tomboy so it could keep up. I couldn't get it of course, but I said to myself.. I will..one day. Don't get me started on Super Cars & Sunglasses oh my.
    That is such an inspirational story. You are living my dream. Curiosity is a beautiful thing. Thank you. Blessings & safe travels. 🔎🐳🐬🐟🔍

    Some people don't know how much work had to be done so that the sea dweller would work in those depths. I had recently found a new love in watch by seeing Nico Leonard's video. Love that guy he's a huge fan of rolex and most importantly watch enthusiast a real one. Thanks my guy even though i absolutely cannot afford it anytime soon. I would love to own one some day. Thanks nico for showing that watches are not just a time piece but much more that that. And love a watch with a story behind it
