Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiablehigh-endbrand.
Rolex is clearlythe most well-knownamong 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, and evenPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex customergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandverylittle. Enthusiastspurchase Rolex for its incrediblyhigh quality.
They may be less thinking aboutincrediblyfine, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the very best well-rounded look forday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tknow much about watches, just that Rolex is the 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 substantial compliment for the manufacturer— because if even a person who understandsabsolutely nothingabout watches views one specificbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its veryhigh item quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches reveal time accuratelyand are robust, toughand trustworthy.
Keepingregularly high quality with estimatedannual production numbers of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to omituncommoncomplications.
It has no tourbillons, perpetualcalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a large date display screen, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This holds true for the motions in addition tofor the case. You won’t find a turning bezel that ratchets so cleanly and smoothly 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 everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the truth that the brandpresentedingeniousfeaturesrather 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 (currentlyperformed by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the first waterproofwatch was presented and the automaticwinding systemfollowed a couple of years later on– due to the fact that to make surethe 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 2features are shown in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all 3functions– automaticwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the essentials.
Immediatelyrecognizablestyle, Watches Rolex For Men.
The everydaywearability of a watch is a function of its style. The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. Add to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf invention).
Existing collections are preservedand continuouslyimproved over the years. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallycautiousmodificationsto the renownedstyle of specificmodel collections over the decadeshaveresulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex modelshave actuallyjust seen incremental modifications throughout the years.
It’s why it is alwayseasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a range. SeespecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the specialistswho recognizethem.
Keeps its value.
This reality is true to a lesser levelfor watches– other than for Rolex. For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster models and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or possibly even more, than the original purchase price.
