Rolex Watches - Innovation And Breakthrough
Wednesday, October 19, 2016 2:12:00 AM America/Los_Angeles
Rolex has made an innovation in watches with unique features. Rolex Datejust was introduced in 1945 when Rolex celebrated its 40 year birthday. It’s a significant invention because it was the very first automatic chronometer certified wristwatch with a date window. Yes, it was Rolex that invented the date function in wristwatches. This was an innovation the Swiss watchmaker introduced which was taken up by just about every other watchmaker in the world. In 1955, the GMT-Master was created at Pan-Am’s request for its pilots, who were experiencing a new phenomenon called jet-lag. They wanted a watch that told time for two time zones at once. And GMT-Master is the world’s first wristwatch with a GMT function. This was unheard of until that time, and although it didn’t do so well as much as it was anticipated, it was well received at the time.
Rolex has also made excellent watches suitable for deep-sea diving, mountain climbing and racing. Early sports models included the Oyster Perpetual Sea Dweller 2000 (in 1971). This watch featured a helium release valve, co-invented with Swiss watchmaker Doxa, to release helium gas build-up during decompression. In 1953, the first people to climb Mount Everest– Tenzig Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary, were wearing Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches. The same year, Rolex launched the Rolex Explorer, which was designed for explorations. The modern version of this watch, is called Rolex Explorer II. Both models are very suitable for the lifestyle of adventurers, extreme sports and mountaineering. In 1963, the Rolex launched the Rolex daytona replica which was specially designed for racing driver, and it can calculate the speed of racing. The watch recorded the brilliant achievements of racing track, and it has achieved iconic status, and become the world's most famous and most respected timing wrist watch.

The dive watch is probably one of the most popular watch types, as the name suggests, the dive watch was designed for people who spend a lot of time in or near water. The standard for a dive watch is to be water resistant up to at least 100m. And they are excellent sports watches, and though many people don’t wear them to dive, they do wear them for other types of sports, for field work, or for other physically-demanding activities that an ordinary watch may not be suited for.
They are popular in movies
The original James Bond watch was a Rolex Submariner. In 1962, Rolex became the official timekeeper of Ian Fleming’s fictional world famous and secret British agent, James Bond 007. The first Bond actor, Sean Connery, was wearing a Rolex Submariner in the first Bond movie called Dr. No, released in 1962. In the early Bond films, it was a Rolex Submariner, which is why the dive watch is sometimes called a “submariner”; then Pierce Brosnan turned the Omega dive watch into Bond’s timepiece of choice. Since 1995 until our days, Omega has been James Bond’s luxury wristwatch, and Bond actors Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig have worn Omega watches in all their Bond Movies.
They are perfect choices
If we mention about the diving watches, we surely cannot miss the Rolex Sea Dweller replica, which is the king of the divers watches because of its outstanding waterproof depth of 3900 meters.

The Development And Attraction Of Pilot Watches
Friday, October 21, 2016 2:08:32 AM America/Los_Angeles
Wristwatches have been a part of aviation since the first ever timepiece was created for a pilot in 1904- Louis Cartier designed a wristwatch (the iconic Santos watch) for pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont to wear on his wrist while flying on his single engine plane. It can be said that Cartier established the role of an aeronautical watch, as it served several functions. Watch could be used to calculate the fuel consumption, air speed, lift capacity, navigation and finally, it was useful for time keeping.
In the 1930s, watchmaker Breitling introduced onboard chronographs for planes in the Royal Air Force so pilots could determine their speed, distance traveled, and fuel consumption. In 1952, Breitling introduced the Navitimer mechanical chronograph, which featured a circular slide-rule bezel that was expressly designed for pilots to calculate aviation navigations while in flight. This quickly gained a good reputation among pilots. The brand earned its nickname as the ‘official supplier of the aviation world’. Nowadays, Breitling Navitimer is one of the coolest watches to wear every day.
In the jet-age, as pilots found themselves flying across multiple time zones a new requirement emerged. In response, Rolex launched the GMT-Master, the world’s first wristwatch with a GMT function. Rolex GMT-Master watch was born in the year of 1955, which can make the pilot read the time information of the two time zones at the same. GMT-Master II was launched in 1983 as an improvement in the GMT-Master. Replica Rolex GMT Master II features two hour hands, one corresponding to the traditional 12-hour watch face on the dial and the other synchronized to a 24-hour bezel. This allowed pilots to track flight time with the Zulu bezel and still use the local timezone while on the ground.
In addition to the watches discussed above, there are some other famous Swiss pilot watches, such as Omega Speedmaster, IWC Pilot watches, ect.
