Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizablehigh-endbrand.
Rolex is clearlythe most widely knownamongst the world’s high-end watch brand names. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never ever heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or evenPatek Philippe.
Fundamentallythere are 2 Rolex clientgroups– those who know a lot, and those who knowverylittle. Connoisseurspurchase Rolex for its extremelyhigh quality.
They might be less thinking aboutincrediblyfine, complexcraftsmanshipin favor of having the very best well-rounded look forday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the very best. For them the primarymotivator is this: if you’re going to use a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a substantialcompliment for the maker— because if even a person who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand as “Number One”, the businessis doing something right.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its veryhigh product quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches show time preciselyand are robust, sturdyand reliable.

The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationongoing. This holds true for the motions in addition tofor 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 rivals– even other high-end producerswith far moreexpensiveproducts.
It’s got whatever a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the truth that the brand nameintroducedinnovativefeaturesrather early on which have made the watch well-suited for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmovement to the popularKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwatch was presented and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later– due to the fact that to guaranteethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be essentialto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2features are shown in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the very first watch to combine all 3functions– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the basics.
