Beginning as the first waterproof and dust-proof wristwatch designed specifically for professional use.

The mechanism features a lever escapement, 26 jewels, mono-metallic balance, adjusted to 5 positions  and KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 19,800 BPH.

The evolution of the Rolex Oyster inspired some of the most historically important wristwatches, surviving the harshest of conditions. From 35,000 ft. below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, to the summit of Mount Everest, without losing a beat. There aren’t many mechanical timepieces that have contributed more to the advancement of horological design, nor clearer defined Rolex’s reputation for excellence. Many have tried to replicate its success, but no manufacturer since, has consistently produced mechanical timepieces that endure everyday wear as well as a Rolex.
