Rolex appears to have perfected waterproofing a watch so most of what they do is geared towards aesthetics it seems. Flat crystals, no AR, domed crystals...etc.

Guys i feel like i read the above early on and for a long time found it the best excuse available...eventually someone pointed out e magnification issue due to the thicker crystal & that seemed to make more sense to me
There could still be something to it as far as shape or perhaps its a limiting factor of the glue holding the cyclops on, perhaps the glue wouldn't hold up to the greater pressures at depth but this is purely speculation
Still a fine looking timepiece
