A lifetime of telling time

MOST THINGS today aren't built to last as long as they might. There are exceptions—one out- alanding one is a Rolex wrist- watch, Those delicate parts- an ordinary thimble would hold 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 Rolex, to the Oyster case. Designed by Rolex especially to protect a Rolex movement, the Oyster case was, and still is, the fore- most waterproof case in the world.

Kudos, too, to the self-wind- ing mechanism in the Rolex Oyster Perpetual. The even 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.
