Great rep watch, everything works flawlessly. Movement is very smooth and quiet, it even spins when I don't have my finger on it. Crystal is gen-like clear. Accuracies are spot on and it has that classic rehaut engraving.

From Jacques Piccard plumbing the Mariana Trench to Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay conquering the heights of Everest, Rolex watches have scaled every kind of dangerous terrain. Their reputation for excellence is a result of years of research and development.

Rolex?s pioneering spirit

When it comes to pushing the limits of human achievement, few other luxury watches have a pedigree as impressive as Rolex. From Mercedes Gleitze swimming the English Channel in 1927 wearing a Rolex Oyster, to Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay exposing his Rolex Explorer to the freezing cold and blizzard conditions on Mount Everest?s peak in 1953, Rolex has always been at the forefront of exploration, innovation and pioneering spirit. Rolex continues to push the boundaries of technological advancements, such as creating a watch for use in extreme electro-magnetic fields that could be created by CERN scientists, and even developing a dual time zone watch for Pan Am?s long haul flights. Rolex also creates watches with a more aesthetic leaning, such as the Yacht-Master, Pearlmaster and Cellini, without losing any of their functionality.

Rolex?s versatility

The Rolex brand is more than just a high-end luxury watch. It is also a name that commands a level of pedigree rarely attained by other manufacturers. More Details  Rolex878 RTP

This is largely due to the brand’s unwavering commitment to innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the Oyster model with a screw-down crown and case back sealed with rubber gaskets to make it the first waterproof watch. Five years later, the company patented the Perpetual movement, a self-winding system that allowed for longer power reserves and more accurate timing.

This trend of pushing the boundaries of technology continued with the development of the GMT-Master for Pan Am’s long-range flights, and the anti-magnetic Milgauss for CERN scientists. Today, Rolex continues to push the limits of what is possible with watches that are both aesthetically pleasing and superlatively clever. This can be seen in the recently released Sky-Dweller, a multi-function timepiece that combines form and function like never before.

Rolex?s durability

Rolex watches are not only built to last, but they?re also designed to withstand almost anything the world can throw at them. In 1927, Mercedes Gleitze swam the English Channel wearing the first waterproof Rolex Oyster, and it emerged in perfect working order. The following year, Rolex invented the self-winding Perpetual movement – a superlatively clever design that continues to power all automatic watches today.

Over the years, Rolex has developed watches specifically with professionals in mind. In 1955, it created the twin-time GMT-Master for Pan Am pilots travelling further around the globe than ever before. When CERN scientists were looking for a watch that could withstand the electromagnetic fields generated by their equipment, they turned to Rolex to develop the Milgauss. These are just some of the many occasions when a Rolex has proven itself in the harshest conditions imaginable.

Rolex?s iconic status

Rolex watches have climbed not only the mountaintops of technological innovation, but also the rugged peaks of our planet. Jacques Piccard carried his prototype Rolex Deepsea Special 35,814 feet to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in 1960, and Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay used a GMT-Master on his climb to the summit of Everest in 1953.

When it comes to precision and durability, few brands can match Rolex. In 1931, the company patented its self-winding movement, an ingenious design that continues to power all automatic Rolex watches today. Throughout the decades, the brand has continued to innovate, developing the twin time zone GMT-Master for Pan Am, and the Milgauss for CERN scientists, who need their watches to withstand extreme electro-magnetic fields. Rolex has also produced watches with more aesthetic leanings, such as the Yacht-Master and Pearlmaster, without sacrificing any of its legendary functionality. A Rolex watch is, and always will be, a symbol of achievement.
