A look back at a legendary watch
At the beginning of the 20th century, when Swiss companies dominated the luxury watch industry, Hans Wilsdorf , founder of Rolex, set out to invent the most reliable watch. By the 1910s, Rolex had established itself with watches tested for precision. But water resistance remained a challenge.
In 1927, Rolex launched the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch , featuring a hermetic case and a patented screw-down crown.
Bold marketing
To promote its innovation, Rolex submerged the Oyster in aquariums and attached it to the neck of Mercedes Gleitze, the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Withstanding the test, the watch gave birth to the legend .
Perpetual innovation
In 1936, the Perpetual caliber marked a new breakthrough with automatic rotor winding. The Oyster became the watch of adventurers , mountaineers and explorers. The robustness of Rolex Oyster watches became a global benchmark.
