Footnotes
The original Sea Dweller was launched in 1971 and featured improvements to the previous Submariner model based on the adjustments made for the Comex diving company, such as a strengthened case and helium gas escape valve. These modifications allowed the Sea-Dweller to withstand the high pressure of deep sea level diving and repeated compression/decompression cycles. The ref: 116660 Deepsea can withstand up to a depth of 12,800 feet (3,900 meters).
