In 1967, the Sea-Dweller made its inaugural appearance as an exceptional successor to the renowned Submariner, with a specific focus on catering to the needs of adventurers requiring unparalleled water resistance capabilities for deep-sea exploration. It is with great pride that Bukowskis presents an early Sea-Dweller reference 1665, configured in the distinguished MK2 arrangement. This exceptional timepiece boasts a tritium dial that has gracefully matured over time, imbuing it with a distinctive and sought-after "tropical" patina. Furthermore, it is adorned with tritium luminous indices and distinguished by a two-row red lettering inscription that proudly declares its identity as the "SEA-DWELLER SUBMARINER 2000."
