Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is clearlythe most popularamong the world’s high-end watch brands. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never ever heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or evenPatek Philippe.
Basicallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who know a lot, and those who knowreallylittle. Fanaticsbuy Rolex for its extremelyhigh quality.
They may be less thinking aboutveryfine, complexcraftsmanshipin favor of having the best well-rounded expectday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tknow 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 hugecompliment for the maker— because if even an individual who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the businessis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh item quality crossing the many years of its existence. Rolex watches reveal time preciselyand are robust, sturdyand trustworthy.
Keepingconsistently high quality with projectedannual production varieties of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to omituncommonissues.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a big date display, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the detailcontinuous. This holds true for the movements as well asfor the case. You will not 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 manufacturerswith a lot morepriceyitems.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the reality that the brand namepresentedinnovativefeaturesquite early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmovement to the renownedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlyperformed by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a standard for internal mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the first water-resistantwristwatch was presented and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later– due to the fact that to make surethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofeatures are shown in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all threefeatures– automaticwinding, water-resistant 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 superiorlegibility. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallycarefulmodificationsto the iconicstyle of specificdesign collections over the decadeshave resulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex modelshavejust seen incremental modifications throughout the years.
There are no suddenstyle shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are alteredjustextremelyslowly. Typicaldesignfunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet become part ofseveralvariousdesigns and have actuallyrarelygone throughchange so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks very muchlike earlier models. It’s why it is alwayssimple to acknowledge a Rolex from a range.
WatchexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the specialistswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its worth.
The minute you buy a cars and truck, it drops in value by half. This fact is true to a lowerextent for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster designs and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or perhaps even more, than the initialpurchase price. This is an attractive point for any consumer— no matter whether they are buying the expectthis specificreason or any other. It’s reassuring to know you’ve made a sensibledecision.
