Comex

Established in 1961, by Henri Germain Delauze, Compagnie Maritime d'Expertises, commonly referred to as Comex, is a French company specialising in deep-sea diving. Renowned for its groundbreaking contributions to robotics, saturation driving and underwater exploration. Comex has emerged as a pioneering force in the maritime industry.

In the 1970s, they formed a partnership with Rolex which meant that COMEX divers received complimentary Rolex watches. In exchange, Comex provided Rolex with detailed feedback and analysis on the watch’s performance. The feedback from COMEX contributed to the development of the Rolex Sea-Dweller.

As these COMEX Submariner and Sea-Dweller Rolex watches were never available to purchase at retail, they have become extremely popular with collectors. Having “COMEX” on the dial and case back can significantly increase the value of a Rolex.
