Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizablehigh-endbrand name.
Rolex is clearlythe most well-knownamongst the world’s luxury watch brands. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or perhapsPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex customergroups– those who know a lot, and those who knowextremelylittle. Aficionadosbuy Rolex for its exceptionallyhigh quality.
They may be less interested inexceptionallygreat, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the best all-around expectdailywear.
Other Rolex clientsdo notknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the very best. For them the primaryincentive is this: if you’re going to use a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a substantial compliment for the maker— since if even a person who knowsnothingabout watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the businessis doing something.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh item quality extending over the numerous years of its presence. Rolex watches showtime properlyand are robust, toughand trustworthy.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This holds true for the motions along withfor the case. You won’t discover a rotating bezel that ratchets so easily and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end makerswith a lot morepriceyproducts.
It’s got whatever a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the reality that the brandintroducedingeniousfunctionsrather early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a watchmovement to the prominentKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has become a requirement for internal mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the very first waterproofwristwatch was presented and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a number of years later on– because to make surethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2features are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented 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 dailywearability of a watch is a function of its design. The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. Contribute to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf creation).
