Why is Rolex a trusted wristwatch brand?

Rolex just like any other well known brand are highly valued due to the quality and workmanship each timepiece has.

Among the company's innovations are :
1. First waterproof watch case
2. First wristwatch with a date on the dial
3. First watch to show two time zones at once
4. First watchmakers to earn chronometer certification for a wristwatch
5. First watch company to create the first water resistant watch to 330 feet




A specially made Rolex watch was attach to the side of the Trieste bathyscaphe, which went to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. The watch survived and tested as having kept perfect time during its descent and ascent. It was confirmed via telegram sent to Rolex the following day saying "Am happy to confirm that even at 11,000 metres your watch is as precise as on the surface. Best regards, Jacques Piccard".


To date, Rolex still holds the record for the most certified chronometer movements in the category of wristwatches.
