Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is plainlythe most widely knownamong the world’s high-end watch brands. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or perhapsPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex consumergroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandverylittle. Enthusiastspurchase Rolex for its incrediblyhigh quality.
They might be less thinking aboutexceptionallyfine, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the very best all-around expectdailywear.
Other Rolex consumersdon’tknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the best. For them the primaryincentive is this: if you’re going to wear a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a bigcompliment for the producer— due to the fact that if even an individual who knows nothing about watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its incrediblyhigh item quality extending over the lots of years of its existence. Rolex watches revealtime accuratelyand are robust, strongand reliable.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessconcentrates onwhat it does best, and enhances the detailcontinuous. This is true for the movements in addition tofor the case. You will not discover a turning bezel that ratchets so cleanly and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end makerswith far morepriceyitems.
It’s got whatever a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the fact that the brand namepresentedingeniousfunctionsquite early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmotion to the distinguishedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has become a requirement for internal mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the very first waterproofwatch was introduced and the automatedwinding systemfollowed a couple of years later on– because to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be requiredto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2features are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the very first watch to integrate all 3features– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its name date window, it has all the basics.
Immediatelyidentifiabledesign, Rolex Explorer.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. This is supported by Rolex professionalPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycautiousadjustmentsto the renowneddesign of individualmodel collections over the yearshave actually resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyonly seen incremental changes throughout the years.
It’s why it is alwayseasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a distance. EnjoyexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the specialistswho acknowledgethem.
