Rolex have been making watches for more than fifty years with such skill and perfection that many have imitated them. During this time Rolex have initiated the major advances in watchmaking technique: the watch industry as a whole has Icarnt from Rolex's leadership.

Rolex launched the wrist-watch. Then an innovation, it is now universal.

Rolex produced the world's first wrist chronometer, which passed, brilliantly, the Swiss Institute for Official Time- keeping tests. Other firms make wrist chronometers today, but 54% of all Rolex wrist-watches produced last year were chronometers.

Rolex produced the world's first truly waterproof watch, Widely copied, the Rolex Oyster remains unique, due to the "Twinlock" double safety winding crown, which stress down onto the case.

Rolex introduced the self-winding rotor mechanism. It is now used by the vast majority of the watch industry.

Rolex introduced the date in window dial. This has been adopted by many makers, but Rolex is the only one which changes instantaneously at midnight.

To date, Rolex have produced over 400,000 chrono meters, which represents well over half the total Swin production during the past go years.

ROLEX

A landmark in the history of Time measurement

Rolex are proud of this stupendous record, prouder that their technical leadership remains supreme to this day, in guarantee of the superlative qual- ity of the watches they make.
