In 1945, Rolex presented its very first automatic chronometer wristwatch, which displayed the date on an aperture on the dial. The model, produced to celebrate the brand's 40th anniversary, was to become one of Rolex's most legendary models of all time. Because of its resemblance to an egg, this watch is now nicknamed the "Ovettone". Over time, the reference 4467 became a cult favourite among collectors and represents a milestone in Rolex history.

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
