A lifetime of
telling time
MOST THINGS today aren't built to last as long as they might, There are exceptions--one out- standing one is a Rolex wrist- watch. Those delicate parts un ordinary thimble would fold 100,000 of a certain screw used --are tooled with such precision, set in place with such skill, that
a Rolex can, and will, last a life- time and a lifetime after that. But the excellence of the manufacture can claim only part of the kudos; much is owed, in a waterproof Roles, to the Oyster case. Designed by Rolex especially to protect a Rolex movement, the Oyster case was, and still is, the fore- mast waterproof case in the world.
Kudos, too, to the self-wind- ing mechanism in the Rolex Oyster Perpetual. The, even 22 tension on the automatically wound mainspring helps to maintain the split-second ac- curacy that makes a Rolex- any Rolex-the purchase of a lifetime, for a lifetime.
