What Makes the Rolex Rolex Submariner the “Aqua Ghost” of Engineering Diving?

Watch Encyclopedia1,564

Rolex watches have a long history and have always been known for their high quality and reputation. Like many brands of watches, Rolex watches have brought a variety of shapes to every flagship product with its name covered. Rolex originated from the Submariner flagship product in 1953, which was the first 100-meter water resistance moisture-proof watch. Rolex Submariner represents good water resistance and moisture-proof ability. It was specially designed for engineering diving at that time. It adopts Rolex watch's patented Oyster water resistance moisture-proof shell and automatically rotates the outside, making it convenient and fast for engineering diving to check the deep dive time. It was not until 1954 that the second batch of Submariner watches was officially named Rolex Submariner. The Rolex Submariner's needle is often called the Mercedes-Benz logo because of the Mercedes-Benz logo. The fundamental reason for this is to better symmetrically wipe and stabilize the aforementioned luminous metallic coating. In the 21st century, Rolex Submariner's flagship product watches have always maintained high quality and some unique designs, but they also have a certain degree of independent innovation. The previous fourth-generation Rolex Submariner used anodized aluminum on the outside, and the new Rolex Submariner porcelain bezel is very hard, corrosion-resistant, and scratch-resistant. In order to ensure that the movement will not be damaged by water, Rolex invented the oyster shell in 1926 and the patented three-button shackle crown in 1953, bringing safety to professional engineering diving. In order to enhance the water resistance of the watch, Rolex released the continuously improved three-buckle crown in 1970. The perfectly self-rotating outside of this range is also a key feature. An instant scale allows the wearer to accurately estimate deep dive time. In order to enhance the water resistance of the watch, Rolex released the continuously improved three-buckle crown in 1970. The perfectly self-rotating outside of this range is also a key feature. Its outer side can only automatically rotate counterclockwise to ensure safety and prevent miscalculation of water time and remaining oxygen amount. In addition, the light source mark on the outside of the scale also allows you to see the length in the dark. Its outer side can only automatically rotate counterclockwise to ensure safety and prevent miscalculation of water time. The outer side of the calendar case is your Cerachrom bezel. The Cerachrom metal coating on Rolex watches is made of very hard ceramic. Its metal coating is extremely corrosion-resistant. Its color does not change due to UV light and is more difficult to scratch. The large numbers and precision on the bezel are filled with gold or platinum.
