The Diver's Watch
The Submariner appeared in 1953 and was the first wristwatch for divers that was waterproof to a depth of 100 meters. In the history of watchmaking, the Submariner marked a historic turning point and became an absolute reference among diving watches.
Legendary Waterproofness
The Oyster case is a milestone in the history of watchmaking. Invented by Rolex in 1926, it was the world's first waterproof watch case. Bezel, caseback and winding crown are screwed watertight to the middle section. Form and function are perfectly matched - typically Rolex.
Robust & sought after
For a Rolex to retain its beauty and functionality in extreme conditions, Rolex uses its own stainless steel alloy - Oystersteel. It is particularly resistant to corrosion and distinguished by its special shine. Oystersteel belongs to the steel grade "Stainless Steel 904L" which is normally used in extreme areas such as the aerospace and chemical industries.
