Why selectRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizablehigh-endbrand name.
Rolex is clearlythe most popularamong the world’s high-end watch brand names. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never ever heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or evenPatek Philippe.
Basicallythere are 2 Rolex clientgroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowverylittle. Enthusiastspurchase Rolex for its incrediblyhigh quality.
They may be less interested inincrediblyfine, complicatedcraftsmanshipin favor of having the best well-rounded look foreverydaywear.
Other Rolex customersdon’tunderstand much about watches, only that Rolex is the very best. For them the mainmotivator is this: if you’re going to wear a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a substantial compliment for the maker— since if even an individual who knowsabsolutely nothingabout watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh product quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches show time accuratelyand are robust, sturdyand trustworthy.
Preservingconsistently high quality with estimatedannual production varieties of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to leave outuncommonproblems.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even movements with a large date display, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationongoing. This holds true for the movements along withfor the case. You won’t find a rotating bezel that ratchets so easily and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end producerswith a lot moreexpensiveproducts.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the fact that the brand namepresentedinnovativefeaturesrather early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmovement to the popularKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually ended up being a requirement for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwristwatch was introduced and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– due to the fact that to guaranteethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be essentialto pull the crown every day.
The first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2functions are reflected in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the very first watch to integrate all 3functions– automatedwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its name date window, it has all the essentials.

The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. This is supported by Rolex professionalPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallymindfulmodificationsto the renownedstyle of individualmodel collections over the yearshave resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyjust seen incremental changes throughout the years.
There are no unexpecteddesign shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are modifiedjustextremelygradually. Commonstylefunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet belong toseveralvariousmodels and haverarelygone throughmodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks very muchlike earlier models. It’s why it is alwayseasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a distance.
ViewspecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the expertswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
This reality is real to a lower extentfor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster designs and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or maybe even more, than the initial purchase cost.
