The Rolex Explorer has accompanied expeditions around the world. It features a 24 hour hand which acts as an invaluable tool for the speleologists and polar explorers all around the world. This is because it allows them to distinguish day time from night time. The Chromalight display on the Rolex Explorer’s dial is a one-of-a-kind innovation which pushes the boundaries of visibility in the darkest of the environments. The blue glow in the Rolex Explorer lasts up to 8 long hours with a uniform luminosity throughout. This is practically twice as long as those of the all standard luminiscient materials.

Rolex always uses 904L steel for manufacturing all of its casebacks. The 904L steel is primarily used in the chemical industry in order to create resistance from all kinds of corrosion in the chemical industry. The 904L steel blends in perfectly with the elements of Rolex to give birth to a corrosion resistant material for the Rolex Explorer. The 904L is a super alloy and is extremely resistant and highly polishable. Another unique feature of the watch is the Parachrom Hairspring. A watch is only precise if its oscillator is regular. Most of the conventional oscillator springs are made up of ferromagnetic alloys.

These ferromagnetic alloys make a watch highly vulnerable to magnetic fields and shocks. After five years of research, Rolex developed the Parachrom hairspring which protects a Rolex watch from all kinds of magnetic fields and shocks 10 times more than normal timepieces. The blue color of the hairspring resembles the accuracy of a watch and is generally incorporated for the most accurate timepieces of Rolex. The Rolex Explorer is no exception in this regard. The seconds, hour and minute hands in the Rolex Explorer are broader and more legible. The black-dial version of the Rolex Explorer has the black base blending with the dial to create the effect of a “phantom� in the watch.
The 24 hour hand of the watch has returned to the arrow shape and the orange color of the 1971 classic style of the Rolex Explorer. The 12 hour hand can be set independently. This helps in displaying the second time zone in conjunction with the 24 hour hand and bezel. The four words – SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED – reiterate the fact that Rolex Explorer is one of the strongest and the most durable watch ever produced by Rolex in its history of timekeeping. These four words mean that the watch has been under rigorous 15 days and 15 nights test carried out by the skilled and experienced CERN engineers.

Resembling the timeless elegance, strength and aura of the Rolex Explorer, veteran Canadian actor Christopher Plummer stands to be the perfect example of endless endurance to human difficulties and rough patches in life. Christopher Plummer has deservedly become one of contemporary cinema’s most respected performers, but it’s worth noting that he originally planned on pursuing a career as a concert pianist. Christopher Plummer’s passion for acting took hold in high school. However, he subsequently began auditioning for a number of Canadian stage plays. He made his television debut in 1953 with an episode of the anthology series Studio One, and managed to make a living by taking on small roles in television shows and movies. He is known for films like “The Night of the Generals�, “The Return of the Pink Panther� and “The Man Who Would Be King�.

If one has to choose from the most vibrant looking watches in the Rolex lot, it would be a tough call. However, with the introduction of the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, it won’t be anymore. The unique bezel of this Rolex timepiece is set with a range of sapphires of different colors. The rainbow color of the bezel of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona makes it a treat to the eyes of an onlooker. With its unique design and style, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona stands out from all other classic Rolex timepieces. Though it is undeniable that each and every Rolex watch has its own aura of timeless class and elegance, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona has proven to be a special Rolex timepiece.

Apart from donning a colorful bezel set with an array of sapphires of rainbow colors, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona also incorporates the classic 18 ct yellow gold case and bracelet. By sporting the different rainbow colors of red, green, blue, yellow, orange, mauves and pink, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona has turned out to be an eloquently designed Rolex timepiece. The case-lugs, crown guard and the hour markers on the dial are adorned with sparkling and beautiful gems. These beautifully set gems on the dial of the watch make the Daytona theme even more appealing to the eyes. The extraordinary dazzle of the sapphires lies in their meticulous selection and assemblage by Rolex itself.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona’s black lacquer colored dial is contrasted with the three yellow Gold Crystals counters attached along with the dial of the watch. This particular architecture has been crafted from an 18 ct gold alloy by Rolex itself. The exclusive gold counters in the watch create a huge play of reflections and colors. Each of these counters is different from each other and has a distinct work of art embedded in them. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is available in 40 mm yellow gold diamonds and sapphires and 40 mm white gold diamonds and sapphires. Resembling the shine and elegance of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, former Canadian Ice Hockey star Wayne Douglas Gretzky has been one of the biggest and brightest Canadian Ice Hockey icons till date.

He played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for four teams, starting from 1979 to 1999. Popularly known as the “The Great One”, Wayne Gretzky has been called “the greatest hockey player ever” by a number of sportswriters, players, and the NHL itself. He is the leading point-scorer in NHL history. He is also the only NHL player to total over 200 points in one season – a feat he accomplished as many as four times. In addition, he tallied over 100 points in 16 professional seasons, 14 of them consecutive. While he retired in 1999, he held 40 regular-season records, 15 playoff records, and six All-Star records. In addition to being its greatest scorer, Gretzky was the most gentlemanly superstar in the modern history of the NHL.

The Rolex Datejust was introduced in the year 1945 by Rolex to add on to its sparkling lot of watches. The Rolex Datejust was the first watch to display date through its aperture on the watch. The unique magnifying Cyclops lens was another addition in the watch incorporated in it a few years later. The Cyclops lens soon became a Rolex design standard in the years to come. The classic design of the watch has made it an iconic symbol of style. In its earlier models, the date in the watch started to change a few hours before the midnight.

However, from the year 1955 the date change mechanism started to change and became instantaneous. The date aperture was improved by including the Cyclops lens. The lens enabled the magnification of a date by two and a half time for a more convenient reading. In the early years of Rolex, oyster bezel fluting was used to screw the bezel in the case which helped in enduring the waterproofness of the watch. This particular bezel fluting in a Rolex watch was quite similar to the bezel fluting incorporated in the caseback of the watch. Today, Rolex bezel fluting is considered to be one of the most unique Rolex signature style.

In the early 1920s, the Rolex watches were available with a two-tone Bicolore gold case. Most of the times they were yellow or red gold paired with gold or platinum. Later on in 1933, the combination of gold and platinum was given the name of Rolesor by Rolex. Three years after the Rolex Datejust was released in 1945, this particular Rolex model was introduced for the first time in Rolesor. Soon, the Rolex Datejust was recognized as one of the most prestigious Rolex timepieces of all time. Today, it is available in various combinations of steel with gold, white and Everose gold.

The Rolex Oyster case can be viewed by few people in the world. Only those Rolex retailers who have the necessary skills, know-how and equipment, they are allowed to access the Rolex Oyster case. It is hermetically sealed to the case with a huge five newton meter metric ton of torque making the watch resistant from all kinds of shocks, dust, water, pressure and all other kinds of hostile elements. The four words engraved on the dial of the watch, “SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED� trumpet the fact quite clearly that the watch has undergone tremendous testing periods.

Veteran Canadian actor Donald Sutherland is regarded as one of the most respected and experienced Hollywood actors of all time. His acting style and class has been second to none in Hollywood. In his 50 year old career, he has done some memorable roles in films like “The Dirty Dozen�, “MASH� and “Kelly’s Heroes�, “Italian Job� and many more. Age has never been a factor for his continuous class in his acting prowess.

Every luxury on this earth is never meant for all individuals existing in the human society. Some fight it out real hard to attain the luxuries. Few others are satisfied with the minimum distance attained while reaching the state of luxury. We believe it or not, people enjoying the luxuries of existence on this blue planet need to be elite in their choices. However, people earning these luxuries with their hard work belong to a different elite class. The Rolex Day-Date is dedicated to all those individuals who have successfully carved their niche on their own niche in their respective fields. Rolex Day-Date has continued to be one of the most popular Rolex timepieces in the recent years.

Initially, the original Rolex Day-Date was the first watch to display both day and date in the dial of a watch. Being one of the most prestigious classic Oyster, the Rolex Day-Date is made of precious metals – primarily gold and platinum. Since the day of its inception, the Rolex Day-Date established itself as the watch for influential people all over the world. The second edition of the Rolex Day-Date or the Rolex Day-Date II adds in to the legacy of the original Day-Date with its 41 mm case. The Rolex Day-Date II available only in 18 ct gold or platinum. Rolex Day-Date is meant for people who believe in achievement, innovation and know the value of classic elegance.

Rolex has always focused on the ‘comfort’ factor for all its timepieces till date. With a brilliant combination of tradition and creativity mixed with technical innovation and cutting-edge manufacturing, a Rolex Day-Date is made from carefully selected raw materials. All these raw materials are manufactured with utmost care. The President’s Bracelet incorporates all the above characteristics to make a wonderful Rolex Day-Date feature. The Parachrom Hairspring is yet another unique Rolex Day-Date feature which makes the watch stand out from other Rolex watches. Usually, a regular oscillator of a watch decides the precision of a watch. Conventional oscillator hairsprings are made up of ferromagnetic alloys. This makes a watch vulnerable to magnetic fields and shocks.

A Rolex Day-Date has the blue Parachrom Hairspring which makes it ten times resistant to shocks and magnetic waves. The Parachrom Hairspring was conceived after a five year research conducted by Rolex itself. The blue color of the Parachrom Hairspring has been a sign of prestige which is especially reserved for only the most accurate timepieces. Making his own mark in the American film industry, Kiefer Sutherland has been one of the most successful Canadian actors in Hollywood. He is best known for his role as Jack Bauer in Fox thriller Drama series “24�. He has won an Emmy Award along with five other nominations, one Golden Globe Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Satellite Awards for this particular role. He has acted in a number of Hollywood flicks, “Mirrors� being one of the most popular films in his career.

Rolex, as a watch making company, is known for its obsession with perfection, which is reflected in all of its timepieces. All its watches are a symbol of excellence in their features, design and scientific know-how. Designed by skilled craftsmen and engineers, the Explorer Rolex watch was launched in the year 1953 as a tribute to the greatest explorers, Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norway. The mountaineers had returned the same year after climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. The splendor and the grandeur of the victory inspired Rolex to develop a technology that would enable ambitious men and women to chase and conquer their biggest fears.

The 39 mm Explorer watch features an officially certified Swiss chronometer (COSC) and self winding movement. The watch with a fixed and polished bezel is waterproof to 100m/330 feet and has an oyster bracelet that graces the wrists of the wearer very elegantly. The timepiece is equipped with a parachrom hairspring and paraflex shock absorbers that allow great precision and accuracy even in the most extreme conditions. After conducting many experiments and deep research, they were crafted from a paramagnetic alloy to protect the movement by strong magnetic fields. The mechanism allowed the watch to be ten times more resistant to shocks.

While designing the Explorer, the makers of the watch ensured a complete protection of the movement and its features by providing a watch case made of 904L steel. It provided maximum resistance against corrosion and was highly polishable.

As elegant and skilled as the Explorer Rolex watch, Paul gross, the Canadian actor, producer, director and singer has created a niche for himself in the film industry. Active since more than two decades, Paul is considered as one of the finest actors by many critics.
