Notes
Henri Delauze, engineer and diver, founder of the COMEX in Marseille in 1961, convinced of the importance of watches for his divers, joined forces with Rolex to create the ideal tool for his activities. Official supplier of the COMEX from 1970 to 1997, Rolex engraved the watches with a number on the case back for better monitoring. The present model bears the number 3110 and date from 1985. It is accompanied with original box and guarantee, instruction booklet, decorative copper diving helmet and Comex information folder.
