Today is a fine day. The weather is clear; temperature is comfortable; little wind… If I have to choose a word to describe today’s weather, I think “perfect” is the exact one. The same and only one that should be used to describe Rolex. Why? Let’s see it.
Firstly, THE MOVEMENT. It has the peculiar self-winding Oyster movement which is entirely researched and manufactured by Rolex. Every movement is an officially certified Swiss chronometer.
Secondly, THE PARACHROM HAIRSPRING. Rolex researched the blue Parachrom hairspring in five years. Crafted from a paramagnetic alloy, it is unaffected by magnetic fields and up to 10 times more resistant to shocks. In the past, the unique blue colour of the hairspring was a representative of prestige, which can only use in the most accurate timepieces. But today, it serves for Rolex.
Thirdly, THE CERAMIC BEZEL. Rolex choose the ceramic to make the bezel. Ceramic has the excellent performance in resisting corrosion, color remains from affecting by ultraviolet rays and protection from scratching.
Fourth, 904L STEEL. 904L steel has been used to make the steel watch cases. Because it can resist against corrosion, 904L steel is usually served for the chemistry industry. Besides this, 904L is also a highly polishable and extremely resistant alloy.
Fifth, A CLASSIC ART. Every Rolex is the product of know-how and artistry from watchmakers, designers, gem-setters and chemists.
