The dials give Rolex watches a unique look and personality of their own, while providing excellent readability. Rolex dials are almost exclusively handmade in the manufacture, which guarantees their flawlessness. The distinguishing feature of the watch is the hands, which are always made of gold to prevent tarnishing.
The rare and precious platinum shines with a silvery-white glow. It is one of the densest and hardest metals with unique physical and chemical properties, including excellent corrosion resistance. Paradoxically, its softness, elasticity and flexibility make it very difficult to work and polish, requiring a high degree of skill." Rolex uses 950 platinum, an alloy with a platinum content of 950‰ (thousandths), which is produced with extreme precision only in Rolex's fine metal workshops. The best metal for the best watches.
The watch also has a cyclops magnifier. The cyclops magnifier is one of the most distinctive and recognizable elements of the Rolex brand. Named after the one-eyed giant of Greek mythology, the Cyclops Magnifier magnifies the date window with exceptional legibility. Every component of a Rolex watch tells a story. A story of discovery, research, development and the constant pursuit of perfection.
