## Caption

Starting from the 1960s #Rolex have worked with the deep sea diving firm #COMEX to produce reliable timepieces for their deep sea explorations. COMEX approached Rolex to introduce a helium escapement valve to the case to bear with the high pressure underwater. The present Submariner made circa 1978, is a terrific example with a crisp case and case back stamped issue number 830, and dial with the COMEX signature.
