What Makes Rolex Special According To The Luxury Hut?
No other brands dominate both new and second hand watch market quite like Rolex. The keystone of all luxury watches collection, Rolex reverberates with the watch collectors worldwide. Investing in such an exquisitely well-built piece of machinery will last you a lifetime while retaining its value with age. The intricate design and distinct features of a Rolex timepiece make it very special to The Luxury Hut.
The Process of Manufacturing
It takes nearly a year to manufacture a Rolex watch. The brand creates almost everything in-house at one of the company’s manufacturing locations in Switzerland. Every element of a single Rolex watch undergoes a rigorous process of testing to ensure they are perfect in all aspects when they head out of the factory gate.
The Movement
All automatic Rolex watches are equipped with a Swiss made Rolex Oyster Perpetual movement that is entirely manufactured in-house. Rolex movements go through an intricate ‘exacting’ process that takes nearly more than a year to complete. With hundreds of precisely made components carefully assembled and after minute adjustments, the oscillator is set. All Rolex movements are certified Swiss chronometers, ensuring high, long-term performance.
The Bezel
It was a challenge for this Geneva-based manufacturer to find the most durable component; thus, it decided to create its own ceramic. Rolex uses a unique process to make a bezel that is ignited to nearly 1,500 degrees to harden and purify the ceramic mix. Then, the whole bezel is sprayed with gold and extensively polished unless the numerals appear. The virtually unbreakable and scratch resistant Rolex bezel that takes over 40 hours to create has been crafted to endure more abrasion than other parts of the timepiece.
The Stainless Steel, the Oyster Case and the Watch Case Back
The brand uses 904L stainless steel that no other watch brands is known to use. The unique Oyster Case was produced in 1926 that overstates excellence in form as well as function, making it the first waterproof wristwatch case of the world. Whether it is crafted in gold, platinum or steel, the watch case is built rugged and waterproof. The back of a Rolex watch is made smooth without any logos or designs but instead engraved with the model number of the respective versions inside it. However, the only exceptions for this watch case back are the Rolex Sea-Dweller and all ladies Rolex timepieces that were manufactured before 1990.

What Makes Rolex Submariner Special according to The Luxury Hut?
The Luxury Hut reveres Rolex Submariner for its consistent success over the past six decades, developing into an icon and one of the most recognised timepieces till date. In 1953, the Rolex Submariner was launched as one of the first diving timepieces in the world. These watches feature matte black dials, rotating bezels and water resistance up to 328 ft (100 m), making them one of the most sought-after collector’s watches today. With the launch of Rolex Submariner, the manufacturer presented an entirely new kind of wristwatch that defines what we know today as diving watches. The Rolex Submariner with reference ID 6204 had an oversized luminous hour, minute, and second hands with luminous indices and numerals on a matte black dial.
With its appearance in the first movie of James Bond, Rolex Submariner made its way to Hollywood. In the film, Agent 007 is seen wearing a timepiece with the reference ID 6538, and it is now known to be ‘James Bond Sub’. In the 1973 Bond movie ‘Live and Let Die’, Roger Moore wore the Rolex Submariner with reference ID 5513 that sold in November 2011 at Christie’s. Ian Fleming, the series’ author, mentions only the Rolex Oyster Perpetual at least once in the complete 14-volume series. The racecar driver and actor, Steve McQueen also depended on the precise and rugged Rolex Submariner. From racing suits to other wardrobes, this timepiece complements everything, making it much more than merely a diving instrument.
With the unique model Rolex Deepsea Challenge, it created a world record in 2012 by descending to an impressive depth of about 39,370 ft (12,000 m) in the Mariana Trench. Featuring a unique Twinlock crown, the first Rolex Submariner’s predecessor with reference number 6200 was water resistant up to a depth of 328 ft. The bi-directional bezel helped the divers in keeping track of their dive length easily and comfortable with only one glance.
In 1953, the bezel was improved by the Swiss watch manufacturer Blancpain using their Fifty Fathoms model. The tweaked unidirectional bezel only can be turned clockwise, shortening the dive time instead of lengthening. As an ardent recreational diver, the former director of Rolex accorded many useful suggestions for the bezel, dial as well as case. The watch consistently sustained various tests along with 132 dives to the depths between 39 ft and 197 ft and also fell from two meters height on a concrete dock but continued to function. The successor of the original Rolex Submariner became the official timepiece of the Australian, British and Canadian marines, water resistant to a depth of 656 ft (200 m).
In August 1953, a Rolex Oyster Perpetual accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to reach the peak of Mount Everest, making the year special for the entire watch-making industry. The automatic experimental watches were given to mountain climbers only to test their strength and reliability under extreme conditions. After the successful expedition led by Sir John Hunt, the watch was sent back to Geneva for a myriad of tests that ultimately led to the production of the Rolex Explorer.
