Rolex SA is a Swiss manufacturer of high quality, luxury wristwatches, which are popularly regarded today as status symbols. The Company is ranked by BusinessWeek magazine at #71 on its 2007 annual list of the 100 most valuable global brands. Rolex is also considered the largest single luxury watch brand in the world by far, producing about 600,000 watches per year with estimated annual revenues of around US$3 billion.
Innovations
Among the company’s list of innovations:
* The first wristwatch with an automatically changing date on the dial (Rolex Datejust, 1945
* The first wristwatch with an automatically changing day and date on the dial (Rolex Day-Date)
* The first wristwatch case waterproof to 100 m (330 ft) (Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner, 1953)
* The first wristwatch to show two time zones at once (Rolex GMT Master, 1954)
* The first watchmaker to earn chronometer certification for a wristwatch
Automatic movements
In 1931, Rolex offered the first self-winding wristwatch. This revolutionary innovation made watch-winding unnecessary and more importantly eliminated the problem of over-winding a watch and harming its movement.
Rolex was also the first watch company to manufacture a wristwatch water resistant to 100 m (330 ft).
Collections
Rolex also produces specific models appropriate for deep-sea diving, mountain climbing and aviation. These sport models included the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea Dweller. Other models, such as the Explorer and Explorer II were developed specifically for explorers who would navigate rough mountainous terrain. The Rolex GMT Master was originally designed in the early 1950’s for Pan-Am Airways to help its pilots resolve the problem of crossing multiple time-zones.
Certified chronometers
Rolex is still the worlds largest manufacturer of Swiss made certified chronometers. More than half the annual production of COSC certified watches were made by Rolex.
