No one else in the world has succeeded in the enterprise. “ From these words it is clear how Tiger Woods is an ab- solute legend of the golf world and in general one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. The US champion was fascinated by the Rolex Deepsea. This is due to another great passion of his: ocean diving. The Deepsea’s Oyster case guarantees water resistance to a depth of 3900 meters. All this thanks to the paten- ted Ringlock System innovation, which allows Deepsea glass to withstand a pressure equivalent to a load of three tons. The case is also equipped with a gas escape valve that allows the helium, which infiltrated insi- de the watch during decompression in the hyperbaric chamber, to be able to escape without any risk to the watch. To ensure visibility in low light conditions, it is equipped with Cromalight luminescence.
