The deepest parts of the Earth’s oceans is the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. The trench is about 2,550 kilometres long with an average width of 69 kilometres. It reaches a maximum-known depth of 10,994 m (± 40 m) or 36,070 ± 131 ft at a small slot-shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep, at its southern end. That is the destination. And one watch brand has sent a watch, strapped to the outside of a submarine down to that depth. Twice. First in 1960 with the Deep Sea Special, and again in 2012 with the Deep Sea Challenge. Both times, the watches returned fully functional. This is the story of both Rolex watches which made the journey. In Part 1, we explore the Rolex Deep Sea Special, the first watch ever to dive to the depths of the bottom of Challenger Deep The dive was on board the manned submarine Trieste, which descended to the ocean floor of the trench. Attached to the outside of the Trieste was a Rolex Deep Sea Special. The vessel was designed by Swiss scientist Auguste Piccard and built in Italy. Trieste was launched on 26 August 1953 into the Mediterranean Sea near the Isle of Capri. The design was based on previous experience with the Piccard designed bathyscaphe FNRS-2. Trieste initially was operated by the French Navy. In November 30, 1953, it performed a landmark dive off the coast of Ponza Island. Rolex was already collaborating with Piccard then, and had supplied a Deep Sea Special which was designed to be carried attached to the outside of the submarine during the dive. This dive of 1953 broke the then world record by descending to a depth of 3,150 m. Rolex’s intention at that time was to test the concepts in their design for a water proof watch. When the Trieste surfaced after the dive, the Rolex Deep Sea Special was running normally. After several years of operation in the Mediterranean Sea, the Trieste was purchased by the United States Navy in 1958 for US$ 250,000. The US Navy, collaborating again with Rolex made the monumental dive into the bottom of Challenger Deep on January 23, 1960, with Jacques Piccard (who co-designed the submersible along with his father, Auguste Piccard) and USN Lieutenant Don Walsh. Their descent took almost five hours and the two men spent barely twenty minutes on the ocean floor before undertaking the three-hour-and-fifteen-minute ascent. The measured depth at the bottom was measured with a manometer at 10,916 m (35,814 ft) ±5. The Trieste was not equipped to take photographs during the dive. The watch which accompanied the dive, strapped to the outside of the Trieste is the Rolex Deep Sea Special No. 3. This watch is currently in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC. Rolex was, understandably very proud of this achievement. For the first time, a watch has been to the very depths of the oceans. And it was still working perfectly after the dive. This was not only a great story, and excellent publicity. But one where Rolex had learnt a great deal from on how to build a better water proof watch. One of the technologies trickling from the Deep Sea Special is the concept of multiple locks for the crown to prevent water from getting into the case. The Triplock crown was the result of this, and was implemented in Rolex professional diving watches.
