Rolex Great White

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 “Great White” is a vintage diver’s grail that earned its nickname from the all-white text on its dial—a departure from the earlier “Double Red” versions. Produced in the late 1970s, the “Great White” was the first Sea-Dweller to fully drop the Submariner co-branding, signaling the model’s emergence as a distinct professional tool watch. With its tall acrylic crystal, helium escape valve, and chunky 40mm case, it was built for serious saturation diving—but today, it’s prized just as much for its clean, balanced dial and transitional significance in Rolex history.
