Rolex Watches Rolex Datejust 279381RBR : A Legacy of Precision and Durability

Discover the enduring legacy of Rolex, synonymous with precision and durability since its founding in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis. Initially operating as Wilsdorf and Davis, the duo distributed timepieces, some stamped ‘W&D,’ to jewelers. In 1908, Wilsdorf established the Rolex brand for its universal pronunciation and aesthetic fit on watch movements and dials.

Rolex’s Rise to Prominence

From its inaugural office in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Rolex swiftly ascended to prominence, driven by a clear vision: to create watches capable of withstanding any adventure or environment. In 1910, Rolex’s commitment to this vision was affirmed when one of their wristwatches became the first to receive a certificate of chronometric performance, solidifying their legacy as makers of excellent timekeepers.

Innovations and Technical Achievements

Rolex’s history is a testament to a series of innovations shaping the world of watchmaking. Committed to elegance and robustness, Rolex set a new precision standard in 1910 with a chronometric performance certificate. A landmark innovation came in 1926 with the Oyster case, the world’s first waterproof watch case, establishing Rolex as a pioneer in watchmaking technology. The Oyster’s durability was demonstrated in 1927 when swimmer Mercedes Gleitze wore it while swimming across the English Channel.
