Accurate And Reliable Watches Conquer The Deep Sea

Since the introduction of the patented Oyster case in 1926, Rolex has occupied an important position in the development and manufacture of waterproof watches at that time. The patented technology of the Oyster case secures the outer ring, the bottom cover and the winding crown to the middle case to ensure that the case is tightly sealed and seals the inside of the watch to protect the watch from harmful external factors. Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf named them "Rolex Oyster Watch" and "Rolex Oyster Case" because "the watch can be submerged in water for a long time like an oyster, and zero The parts are intact". This invention is a breakthrough in the history of watchmaking.

In order to manufacture watches that meet the needs of divers on the ground, Rolex began to cooperate with pioneers in the diving industry many times in the 1950s to conduct field experiments. After numerous experiments and technological innovations, Rolex launched the Submariner in 1953, which was the first diving watch with a water resistance of 100 meters (330 feet). The rotating outer ring of the Submariner is equipped with a graduated word circle, which allows the diver to grasp the underwater time and helps to calculate the storage volume of breathing gas. The new screw-in winding crown has two sealing areas and is equipped with a double-buckle lock system to enhance the safety of the Oyster case.

One year after its launch, Submariner's waterproof performance has been improved again, with a waterproof depth of 200 meters (660 feet); and equipped with more innovative technologies, such as the luminous material coated on the small circle at the end of the hour hand, which makes it easier to distinguish from the minute hand; in addition, Added crown guard.

In 1969, Rolex launched the Submariner calendar type, adding a date display function. In 1979, the waterproof performance of the watch was further improved, from the original 200 meters to 300 meters (1,000 feet). In 1989, the waterproof performance of the Submariner reached the same depth.

Over time, the use of the Rolex Submariner replica watches and Submariner Calendar is no longer limited to the ocean. With its outstanding performance and elegant style, this tool watch has become a classic watch suitable for both land and underwater.

The new generation of Oyster Perpetual Submariner and Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date launched a new design, equipped with a 41 mm case, and widened the middle link of the strap. Adhering to the classic aesthetic features of the prototype watch, the new Submariner Oystersteel model has a black dial with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel of the same color on the outer ring.
